Only one thing is not good in your script:

10. Copy this edited config file back to proper location.
In X-Terminal:

Code:
cp /home/user/MyDocs/default.config /etc/hildon-welcome.d/default.conf it must be default.conf, not default.config

1- go to the repository menu of N900
2- Install ssh server on N900
3- ssh on installation will ask you for a password (choose one)
4- go to your main PC and download a free ssh client with a graphic interface (it's much easier to use for a newbie) like winscp.
5- in your N900 launch xterminal and type: sudo gainroot
6- in x terminal type then: ifconfig
7- ifconfig will show you r ip address (of course you MUST be connected to a wireless lan with your N900 )
8- open winscp and login to this ip address.
login:root password: your passord
9- go tho /usr/share/hildon-welcom/media and copy the boot video you want.
10- ho to /etc/hildon-welcom.d/ and copy default.conf to ypur PC
11-open in your PC default.conf with notepad and modify it with the name of the new video
12- save without changing name of the file
13- replace the file .conf in N900
14- disconnect and restart N900.

That's it...

I hope to have been useful

We need:
-rootsh
-unzip
-PyGTKEditor

1. Open this site from N900

2. Save zip file with video from first page of this topic in main folder of N900

3. Unzip that file.
In X-Terminal:
go into MyDocs folder:

Code:

cd /home/user/MyDocs/

then unzip:

Code:

unzip maemointro-h264.avi.zip

4. Copy video to right location.
In X-Terminal:
become root:

Code:

sudo gainroot

then copy the file:

Code:

cp maemointro-h264.avi /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media

5. Copy config file to MyDocs

Code:

cp /etc/hildon-welcome.d/default.conf /home/user/MyDocs/

6. Start PyGTKEditor
7. In PyGTKEditor open file "default.conf" from main N900 folder.
It'll look like this:

Code:

[hildon-welcome]
filename=Hands-v32-h264.avi

8. Edit that file, so it'll look like this:

Code:

[hildon-welcome]
#filename=Hands-v32-h264.avi
filename=maemointro-h264.avi

9. Save changes

10. Copy this edited config file back to proper location.
In X-Terminal:

Code:

cp /home/user/MyDocs/default.conf  /etc/hildon-welcome.d/default.conf

11. Close X-Terminal, PyGTKEditor, Browser etc.

12. Restart N900
