If you update your device then everything comes basically to this: Have you installed _any_ applications that alter system settings. Of course most of users canīt give answers to this question easily because well, they just install what they install by clicking stuff from HAM or FAP and in worst case do not even know if itīs from extras, testing or devel repositories.

I think devels of Community SSU should more clearly point out and that if you cannot debug stuff by yourself then maybe this thing is not for you.

Put big BOX on top of this page:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU
I have not YET tried to test this update but I would like to ask that is it possible to give user popup warning before installation with SINGLE SENTENCE where he/she is warned about using this update.

btw. There is no link to community-SSU from main page of repositories:
http://repository.maemo.org/

In my view there are sufficent warnings and the Developers are doing a fantastic job. It seems we have two choices here either we accept the CSSU may not be perfect all users or we accept there will never be anymore upgrades for the N900 as it is clear Nokia will not be issuing PR1.4 etc.

I no which option I will take and I assume that will go for 99% of the forum users.

Any users who have run into problems do seem to have received fantastic assistance from the Developers and all seem to have had any issues resolved.

I do agree the first page could be altered and have rasied this prevously as the original page on this thread did list the download instructions/warnigs. Perhaps there is an arguement for closing this thread and starting a new one with the CSSU instuctions as the first post but perhaps that will happen when the CSSU moves to stable in due course?
