Believe me, I read the first thread for 3 good weeks before diving in, and even after that I was pleasantly surprised to find out how easy it was to return to Maemo.

After 0.4.1 comes out, and we see how it behaves, how about in the spirit of "everyone contributing something", maybe you and I can sit down and "newbyize" the instructions? I've had to write simple instructions for people for almost 30 years, but I'm sure there's some stuff that I assume everyone knows or can easily figure out, but they just don't or can't.

Have you tried the install yet or is it still too confusing to even try it out?

Awesome idea! I'll try and help as much as I can but like I said I really dont know whats going on. I just see people saying this isnt working then someone says try this and it works or it dosnt. Its like traveling to a foreign country and not knowing the language at all, but I can make out the body language and facial expressions!
