Well if Nokia provides the necessary drivers like they do now for the MeeGo preview release (they can be pulled in at image build time) then it's a matter of grabbing whatever community release there is.

Anything that belongs to Nokia is Nokia's, and not part of MeeGo. It'd be more along the lines of wiping your PC clean of the vendor provided install and loading a fresh install of say, Ubuntu.
