Not sure if this interests anyone ...

I reflashed my N800 with OS 2007 (Bora) early this morning (until 6 AM) in order to use SciTE, Abiword, Gnumeric, etc. with the built-in software keyboard, and to use xkbd with DOSbox and Basilisk II (xkbd on OS 2008 is buggy).

But the build of Basilisk II built by t3h won't run on OS 2007.

So I needed a Scratchbox environment setup for OS 2007 SDK to attempt compiling it myself. As I may switch back to OS 2008 once certain apps are ported over to Chinook, I also wanted to have the OS 2008 SDK setup too.

The Maemo SDK VMware Appliance is slow on my desktop using VMware Server.

As I was already getting my low-end Thinkpad 600e ready for installing Xubuntu yesterday, I figured I would just use the VMware image instead of figuring out how to install both SDKs on one system.

I created and FAT32 formatted a second VMware hard drive file which I am dumping the SDK Appliance hard drive file as a Ghost image to (screenshot below).

Then I will use a Windows VMware guest with the 2nd hard drive file mounted to copy the Ghost image to my host file system for burning to DVD-R which can be imaged to my Thinkpad.
