I don't have a N900 but if you have downloaded the file to /Desktop then it must be:
sudo tar --numeric-owner -pzxf /Desktop/mer-armel-n900-rootfs-v0.17testing10.tar.gz

If you have downloaded it on the ubuntu box; then you have to copy it to your newly created ext3 partition on the N900. The command is run on the N900 not on the ubuntu box.

Yesterday I made a thread looking for help on dual booting mer on the N900. Although the help was top class, I still find myself confused on how to do it since I completely lack any knowledge in linux past dpkg -i.

If anyone with knowledge on howto do it could go through
http://mer-project.blogspot.com/2010...okia-n900.html

and tell us(me) exactly how to do it with instructions like put blah/blah/blah into the terminal on your linux Pc.
Or, enter /blah/blah/ into the terminal on the N900.

Thanks in advance if anyone decides to help out.

It can be run on both, but the instructions he pointed to state that it gets run on his ubuntu box

Desktop would be /home/<username in ubnutu, top right corner of screen>/Desktop

You asked for more detailed instructions for working through the same issue, only a day later. There was no need for a new thread.
