Requirements:
PC with UBUNTU (Linux), and card reader (I could be with the N900 like “mass storage”).
microSD 4GB (minimal 2 GB, not recommended)

Download from:
http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/releases...t-armv7l-n900/

These two archives:
meego-handset-armv7l-n900-1.1-mmcblk0p.raw.bz2
meego-handset-armv7l-n900-1.1-vmlinuz- 2.6.35.3 - 10.3-n900


***** IN YOUR PC **********
In a terminal (everything in the directory of downloading of the previous archives)
bzip2 - d meego-handset-armv7l-n900-1.1-mmcblk0p.raw.bz2

To insert microSD (but not to mount it or to umount it if amount in automatic.)
To know the name of the device in Linux:
sudo fdisk - l

The /dev/sdX is used ace an example on your PC this might sees also called /dev/mmcblk0, /dev/sdc or something else).

To copy file .rw to microSD:
sudo dd bs=4096 if=meego-handset-armv7l-n900-1.1-mmcblk0p.raw of=/dev/mmcblk0
To hope ......

To create one third partition FAT32 (with Gparted) after which they were created in automatic with the previous commando (not to erase anything).

To install:
sudo apt-get install uboot-mkimage
And to write:
mkimage - To arm - Or linux - T kernel - C - n vmlinuz- none - to 80008000 - and 80008000 2.6.35.3 - 5.2-n900 - d vmlinuz- 2.6.35.3 - 5.2-n900 uImage

Mount microSD and copy the resulting uImage to the root of the new FAT partition.

****** IN You N900 *****
To have update PR1.3
To install u-boot PR1.3 (caution, changes kernel and some programs MAEMO they can not to work)
Turn OFF your N900.
To insert microSD

Turn ON N900, this would initiate MEEGO.

If you do not wish that it initiates MEEGO and you do not want to move the microSD each that you reboot, in boot it presses a key before the time of boot finishes and writes

run noloboot

With this it would initiate MAEMO without greater problem
