Hi all,

I'm pretty new to *nix, and i was wondering if the anticipated 2006 OS will work with my system which already has the extrootfs applied. My understanding is that the new OS will include a number of improvements, including low-level improvements such as a new way of handling installation files, which will be incompatible with existing installation files, requiring a recompile of every app currently available.

So will the extrootfs still work, or will it be broken by the changes in the new OS?

I assume Nokia will expect that you flash the new image and then wait for updates to the apps, and I'm not even sure the existing apps will work under the new OS if you are able to successfully run the extrootfs under the 2006 OS..

Any ideas anyone?
