I'll look into making a port of Ubuntu karmic once i get my N900

at the moment, i don't have any practical way of creating new rootstrap images of ubuntu

- and trying to bootstrap an arm system on an i686 machine is a huge pain in the a** - even with an emulated arm environment with scratchbox and qemu

but until then, i'd suggest that you use the first post of this thread as a reference to get you started

update:

here's the command necessary for bootstraping ubuntu karmic (where as $ROOT is the location of your mounted rootfs partition - e.g: /mnt/karmic)

Code:

debootstrap --include="language-pack-en,language-pack-en-base,dmsetup,cryptsetup,hashalot,nano,sudo" --components=main,multiverse,universe,restricted --verbose --arch=armel karmic $ROOT http://ports.ubuntu.com/ /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/karmic
