Oh, by the way, now that I've managed to do it, I've added a step-by-step guide to gaining root on the 770 using a Mac to the Maemo wiki...

was that the right place to have put it - what's the deal with the duplicate wikis here and at maemo..?


Smiley Dan, if you get it to work in VMware, I seriously hope you wiki it up for us mate

Since VMware player is now available for free, those of us with a full copy could make and distribute some ready-to-go images to allow those who don't to have a go with all this
(I guess you've all heard of the maemo livecd - well it works on Virtual PC which is what I've got - I'm sure that could be bundled up into a nice VMWare Player distributable, ready to run on any Windows machine and all without the end-user needing a paid-for VMWare license! - the person making the Player distro would need one obviously...)
