this is turning off the watchdogs. the phone has timers to detect if the phone hangs/crashed/is bricked and do a reset if this is the case. you usually have to send them a signal every once in a while to show them that everything is still ok. if you don't the phone reboots. usually the bootmanager starts them and that line prevents the bootloader from starting them.
its basicly saying: "watchdogs stay away!"
there is whatchdogsupport in the mainstream kernel so you don't neccesarily need that but in that case you have to take care that they are configured,. actually i have them running for i want the thing to restart if something goes wrong. this is the emergency break i want to have.
and yes if you do something with the flasher you have to put it on the usb: sure.

if its only for gnome: that should work.
but if its only for gnome you might want to try a different approach:
have a close look at the easy debian. there a many howtos in the web.
basicly you install a ubuntu image on the sd or in a file. mount that(in case of a file via loopback). then you go in via chroot. in the chroot you can configure a xserver. on that xserver you can have gnome. only thing you have to take care is to either use a virtual server(server in a window like xnest ) or put it on a different vt(eg put it on vt9) and change to that vt via "chvt". that would result in having hildon /and/ gnome running on the phone as an addon to maemo.

Finally I have ubuntu netbook maverick 10.10 installed and booting from my SD card.
But I don't understand how to make the keyboard and touch screen to work.
Can someone help me?
@lunat:
Where should I write your configs?
I don't have a xorg.conf file in ubuntu.

[i said i consider this highly devel, so...]
X configuration is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.(backup and edit)
if you have no xorg.conf you will have to create one.
and if you want it realy ubuntu put it /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
or put it whereever you want - just tell X where you put it.
drivers go to a subdir of /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/.
driver loading is in /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d
important are the drivers. once the drivers are loaded you have input. its limited(keys are missing) but its there.
same for the touchscreen: as soon as driver loaded and you start X you find some babbeling in the xorg.log (just start X )about the touchscreen as it tries to configure it automaticly.
it doesn't configure it correctly so you need a little setting.
and i have multiple kernels atm. problem tsc2005 is not in the mainstream kernel so you have to compile that(or get it from somewhere matching to your kernel) see at the startpost think there was a link to it compliled for some kernel.
additionally for me it makes no sence to use the ubuntu kernel for it is too old(2.35) for the phone which gets support only now.
[ and to get that straight: what i do differs a little to what others do. i try to find out everything that you need to have ubuntu or debian running /standalone/. that is that you can replace maemo with it. not only to make it somehow apear. and this with reasonalble small changes to the dist.
e.g. the input i told to compile is in debian expierimental or even unstable so it is a reasonable small change for it will make it in the dist. the tsc2005 driver is not in the kernel but is pushed upstream a long time ago and will make it into the mainstream kernel so its a reasonable small change. however copying sth. from maeomo is not a reasonable small change for it is closed stuff which will never make it in the dist. all such stuff is usless.
