Stskeeps: what device is that?
And is there someone we can beg to fix matchbox keyboard in Ubuntu? That shading is awful, isn't it?

Hello!
I just got my n800, and been lurking around maemo.org for a few weeks... It's clear to me that Mer is the future for the n8x0 tablets, so I want to try it... but I have some questions:
I already downloaded the VM image, and played around on VirtualBox... great work indeed! Congratullations.

- Can I just flash it over the internal memory and use it exclusively?
- If it's possible, or if something went wrong, I'll be able to reflash it with the official OS?
- Do you plan to use UnionFS/OnionFS to automatically extend the rootFS to the internal/external SD slots? (like the Asus EEE does)

I want to use the Mer desktop on top of the Maemo infrastructure, and I would like to see the Advanced Power applet sense that I have the Maemo AP back-end running and use that instead of the Mer back-end.
Also APM has changed a lot and now has a kind of (simplified) client-server architecture. If you got interested, I can release rc to garage for wide testing and feature requests/proposals.

1) Yes, but it's still experimental
2) Yes, it's difficult to brick tablets since we don't overwrite NOLO
3) No, - a Debian system is notoriously changeable and in the end the whole system would be on external/internal SD anyway. Clone to SD or /home on another SD would be better.

I'm trying to install Mer using the instructions posted above however, whenever I click the download link for the .install file it can't seem to get get it. The connection to bsd.tspre.org times out. Is there any other place where I can get the install file?

I am not sure if its a bug in my .13 install to the n810 or not, but since its happened three times, here's the report:
Simply speaking: I lock the device and come back the next morning with the battery dead. It is not connected to any network, nor is there any apps running other than what runs from the opening boot.
I have this installed on the internal memory, using internal memory as swap. This was an overwrite of the .12 version, and there was an interruption of the install to .13 when initially installed.
Hope that helps recreate and nail the issue if Mer is the issue.
