so w00t, this will create a flashable image like the firmware file or will u be able to get all the rootfs flile and try to boot from mmc? the installaion for ava is more like nitdroid's. will this be something similar?

Flashing is going to be an interesting challenge, not sure how possible that is - yet.

Currently the approach we've taken is to dd to an SD card and boot from that.

Trying to persuade him to take a video atm.

can we see screenshots plese????

Pics please!
Or even better... youtube!

thx.. let us know when u manage to install it. is it possible to extracts files from whatever image format that gets build?

I don't want to take pics from a camera... I suppose I could do video from a camera..

On first boot you can't read anything. The screen is so dark you can't read the text.

So I booted back into Maemo, mounted the SD card, and added

to /media/mmc1/etc/rc.local. That fixed that problem. I can now use it.. but you can tell none of the MeeGo dev's have even looked at the N900. This does not function at all like the "first look" video.. when you minimize apps and restore the screen refresh goes fuzzy.. Fennec is all kinds of buggy with constant lines through the screen (even crashed X, which restarted itself, nicely I might add..)

No rotate works, so landscape only. The onscreen keyboard won't close when you take out the physical keyboard.. Power button doesn't work.. Lock does not work... Wifi isn't working..

So yeah... nothing but a fancy blue and yellow guy on my screen

These images contain closed software which prohibits redistribution unfortunately.

I'm sure that it will get easier to make them though and hopefully Nokia will put their own images up on tablets-dev soon enough.

thx again. but provide us instructions to try. it is dual bootable rt?

I'd like to add, with it being this hard to get working, I'm honestly not surprised.

Sarcasm aside: it's day one. I'm sure things will only get better.
