Pronuke in your instructions you forgot to tell people about bzip2.
They need to download it from the penguinbait website and run it as follows:

cd /
<path where downlaoded>/bzip2 -dc KDE358.tar.bz2 | tar xf -

Moreover with my freshly flashed n800 with OS2008 I was not able to install e2fsprogs.
Double check it. I had to make the partitions using my Linux box.

Also, after the step to unmount MMC2, whenever I try to partition it (by means of sfdisk), the tablet was always detecting and mounting back the MMC.

E2fsprogs is in the '07 catalog, but I used it on my n810 for partitioning. Installs and works fine.

If you mean by speeding the KDE and SUP process, you really don't have to use the 400 mhz Nokia. If you have a Linux box, you can untar it on your SD card. When I decided to join the KDE on the N800/N810 community, I used my Slackware 12.0 Linux box to partition the SD card and untar KDE and SUP packages. It was really fast. You don't have to wait (KDE) 30 + (SUP) 15 = 45 minutes when using your PC. Just a note.

As far as installing Adobe Flash Player, I'm on the same boat as well. I know that if I want Adobe Flash Player on my Slackware, I look for a package. Maybe if we can find a .deb package, we should be able to install in via command line? I'm not sure if it will work, but its worth a try.

Linux RULEZ!!!

I thought there was a problem with the fonts in microb? with size, I am starting to think there is no problem with microb. Can someone explain if they have had a problem what it is?

Yeah I posted a very similar fix a while back (post #66). So be sure to take this into account.

Also, I think it's important for N810 users to know that they will have to add a modified bootmenu.conf file to their init_flasher directory prior to flashing or they won't be able to actually boot. You can either make your own Fanoush included some samples in the tarball for the flasher or you can use mine that I've posted here

I can attest that fonts in microb do infact get messed after installing KDE - more specifically I'm pretty sure it was after install the SUP. When I last flashed I checked the web browser each step along the way and that's when I noticed it b0rken.

Basically, microb just opens with monospaced/courier looking font on all web pages. I was able to work around this by installing some .ttf fonts and changing my about:config.

I go to webpages and then reflash and they look the same. Can you give me specific sites which show this?

Anyone?


Also 1 question, when you made your backup of your OS, what version of tar did you use? Did you download tar and call it with path?

My homepage for one shows up with the bad font, it's http://pda.finagle.org The text on the buttons works OK but the text for the links is messed up.

As for when I cloned my OS I used the following steps by Millhouse:

Code:
Cloning the Operating System to Internal SD/MMC Card

7. Download and execute the following script and binary
* The following commands will download the cloning script and the GNU tar binary to assist with the cloning process

As user "user"
      mkdir ~/bin
      cd ~/bin
      wget http://www.nmacleod.com/nokia/bin/nupgrade.sh
      wget http://www.nmacleod.com/nokia/bin/tar
      chmod +x nupgrade.sh tar

As user "root"

    * Switch to the root superuser and begin the process of cloning the filesystem to partition two on the Internal memory card. This is achieved in stages to allow you to control progress and check for errors. Pass parameters to the nupgrade.sh script to control progress, as follows
          o 0 - Create ext2 filesystem on partition 2 of the Internal memory card
          o 1 - Mount partition 2 as /opt
          o 2 - Mount rootfs as /floppy
          o 3 - Perform cloning process
          o 4 - Commit filesystem updates and unmount /floppy and /opt
   
   Code:

      sudo gainroot
      cd /home/user/bin
      ./nupgrade.sh 0
      ./nupgrade.sh 1
      ./nupgrade.sh 2
      ./nupgrade.sh 3
      ./nupgrade.sh 4
      reboot
Does that help at all?

I can tell you though that when I had first cloned the OS before any installation of KDE at all - the fonts were working in microb. I specifically checked - that's the only reason I reflashed in the first place.

Now I guess I personally don't mind because I'm using Konqueror 100% of the time - but others might not like it.
