i dont need any other kernel for harmattan and i dont want to use nitroid. (atleast not for now)..

i dont understand how should i change uniboot.conf so that harmattan is only choice..

when should i use 'depmod' command?

do i need openmode_l2fix for kernel-plus ?

I know this sounds lazy but can someone make me correct conf file and tell me where and which files should i copy ?

i have all necessary files i just don't understand where should i put those. (i know only where to put preinits )

Is here someone who can help me?

Having Harmattan as the only active choice is easy; You just configure one OS entry (default being G_OS2_* for Harmattan)
For all other OS'es set G_OS<x>_NUM=0 where x={1,3,4,5,6}
When you do this, all the first level icon menus are present, but there is no second level menu under them.

If, on the other hand, you'd like to modify the menu so that other choises are not even presented, so that you only see the one and only Harmattan boot icon in the first level menu, then you have to recompile the menus.
It is not as difficult as it sounds, all you nee is a standard linux desktop machine where you can run the compile script.

After you have unpacked the modules for your kernel-plus, before you boot into the kernel, you need to go to the module directory and run command "/sbin/depmod -a 2.6.32.61-plus" for example, provided that 2.6.32.61-plus is the version you are installing of course

openmode_l2fix is a good backup choise to have in your kernel list, because it uses the default set of modules. If you make a mistake and cannot boot kernel-plus for modules misconfiguration or something, then it is good to have one entry there you can boot to.
(but of course if you know what you are doing you can always fix the boot problems in ubiboot repair mode...)
