Woah -- this is news to me. I was hoping to dual boot between Diablo and MeeGo. Was I naive in thinking this?

The problem is that I use my N810 every day. If an experimental OS can't dual-boot, then I probably won't be able to install it on my N810 until it has a fairly high level of usability. (Unless I decide to go on an N810 fast.) The thing I liked so much about Mer was that I could put the latest image on my internal memory card, boot to it, see how much I could get to work, and the go back to good ol' Diablo for podcasts, audio, e-mail, RSS, Web surfing, etc.

Not being able to dual boot would make it hard for people like me to contribute. I suppose I could just back everything up & then reflash... But maybe I'm getting ahead of myself.
