Can you make a full backup of your partition and upload it to torrents plz ? Or tar.gz filesystem and upload it. I can later upload it to my hosting.

Could someone explain a more step-by-step way how to use the 10.10 raw image? Should i download it to the partition of my n900 first and then do the "dd" command.. or should i do the "dd" command from my computer?

The image above contains a new kernel, using the old kernel will probably work, but you might miss some features added in by Ubuntu.
I have NOT been able to boot the new kernel yet.

To install the image, download and extract the raw file, then plug in your N900 and select mass storage mode, find the name of the dev node (/dev/sdx) then dd if=imagefilename of=/dev/sdx. You have to dd to the whole mmc block, not the partition (i.e sdc not sdc1).
If you type in the wrong block, you might erase your HDD, so make sure you know what you're doing, dd isn't something to try out.

Yeah, i am aware of the danger with dd. How do i extract the raw image? With magicISO? Or will dd do this? I tried the dd to /dev/sdc1 but it did not work.. as you said i did it wrong and need dd to /dev/sdc. I am not entierly noobish but i have never handeled raw images before so thats why i am asking.

dd to /dev/sdc then, it should have a partition table in the image (ala MeeGo).
You can mount the image though, mount -t ext3 -o loop image.raw /mnt, then just browse /mnt
