Presumably, the option to boot either in Maemo or Ubuntu? If I choose to boot in Ubuntu, I presume that the cellphone capabilities will not work in this mode. What about gps?
Probably somewhere in the thread but i'll ask anyway. Can you list the partition arrangement please?
Thanks in anticipation.

What package do you mean? The script is not a package

The cellphone capabilities are working partially with ofono: there are no sound and no fully-functional GUI software, only dbus signals and some kind-of-alpha support for empathy.
IIRC, GPS wasn't tested by anyone yet. You may be the first

There is an option to write only the root FS into file or a single partition in the latest revisions, but to make it work with the old U-Boot I had to make the first partition FAT. The second one is swap and the third - ext partition with the whole Ubuntu system.

preflex, don't be harsh please
