If those users ask that, tell them they should not install it.
This is ONLY for developers and experts one.
Those ALREADY know how to install it and are aware of the risks in installing this VERY ALPHA image.

DO NOT install it as this is REALLY the BASE of a MeeGo system.
Very bare, only an xterm opens up and nothing else.
There's no UI (no MeeGO User Experience is provided yet), thus there is NO point at all for those users to install it.

Please, let's try to make this clear to all the people out there.

This is NOT MeeGo 1.0alpha or whatever.
This is a Developer Preview (let's call it that way?).

Actually, the very good question one should ask is:

How can we dual boot this and Maemo ?



UPDATE: actually: http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/Meego_chroot_install_on_N900

I can't wait til some CLI/text warrior out there builds a 100% CLI interface that rivals current maemo 5's features.

Here's chroot instructions so don't have to flash, reflash or destroy anything.

EDIT:

Sorry, didn't see the edit above.

On a silly sidenote: I had MeeGo base system running on my N810 with 2.6.33 kernel (+ Termanas, luke-jr's patches) some weeks ago. It should be possible to get it bootstrapping fairly easily still with the current kickstart files.

Any takers to start a MeeGo hardware adaptation for N8x0?

I am very happy to see this day and see the N900 supported.

Kudos to the teams for reaching this milestone.

anything in this early code that we wouldn't have expected? or is it so little that there's no room for surprises so far?

Some might consider the images for "Aava" newsworthy, at this time already:
