Hi! I'm a complete newbie here, havin' got an N9 few days ago. But I'm not ignorant of all the vast underground development that the community has been pursuing *BRAVO*

. Being a noob, I'm tryin to learn everythin' hands-on

Now I plan on installin' this without ubiboot - jus so I learn the method. So I note the installation method from OP as below:

# depmod -a 2.6.32.61-plus

But then, upon readin' the entire thread, I find this:

2. I do "depmod -a 2.6.32.61-plus" after the flashing? At phone or PC? I don't understand this...

That's gotten me perplexed

. Can someone please give me step-by-step instructions to get this runnin'? Includin'
> which location on phone I need to place the downloaded kernel file.
> whether I can do the entire operation on phone or if PC is required, for which part and what order (the steps from OP don't seem to mention anythin' about hookin' up phone and PC)

Note that (if it matters) I have installed Coderus aegis-install and opensudo via N9QT.

A simple-to-understand response for a not-so-geeky-yet-but-tyrin-to-get-there chap

would be highly appreciated (ATM I'm still in very early learnin' stage)

TIA,
Cheers 'n beers,
JoEy
