The new build from 1.1 pre-release is just a small .ks file. You have to completely build your own.

If you build a ubiimg it is 500+MB in size. The maximum the N900 internal flash can hold is 256MB.

So there is definitely going to be issues getting MeeGo with the full UI loaded into the flash memory of the N900. Which is unfortunate.

If it ever gets stable enough to truly use, whats likely going to happen is we'll have to install it to the internal 32GB SD or keep it on an External and just do a permanent kernel flash that boots from SD.
