Right. I feel bad for the Nokia devs right now.

More notes:

Enable R&D mode and set some flags

./flasher-2.0 --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset

The R&D flag is necessary to avoid a neverending reboot cycle if something important (e.g.: bluetooth) fails to initialize at startup
On the same page, no less. That said, it'll just whitescreen as the AF will fail to init.

From: http://maemo.org/maemowiki/SardineDistro (the Current Issues page)

At least one package (maemo-launcher) is not upgradable on a running Application Framework. These can be upgraded by getting a prompt before the framework is started and running apt-get upgrade there, or by shutting then the AF, running the upgrade and then bring up the AF again. Both these workarounds require serial console access - we're looking into a more robust upgrade mechanism and of course into fixing these packages.
The correct way to do it is at: http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowTo_GetStartedWithSardine --- put together by me (from the notes of Fanoush and others) --- I followed the process myself, and it worked fine, although Sardine isn't terribly useful right now. I didn't notice any massive gains in performance, reliability, or flash player version =)
