The existing "how do I get root" wiki page at maemo.org makes sense if you are starting from already having flasher working. Once flasher is working, this page works as stated. The "getting root" part of your instructions has basically the same content as the wiki entry at maemo.org. The "how do I get flasher working" part of your instructions has no counterpart at the maemo wiki.
