My Fedora.item looks like this now:
Code:
ITEM_NAME="Fedora 12 on SD p4"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28-framebuffer1
ITEM_MODULES=ext3 mbcache jbd

could some one take a look why the youtube app not working.
Main note on that error, any plans with the installation going foward? Stick with installing on N900? Use of a script? Go back to PC with linux? WinPC with .exe to do all the lifting?
And seeing the release is a radio, power managment and UI tweaks (add buttons on screen to make up for the lack of hard buttons on N900 etc) what is the plan going foward? Is NITDroid going to be developed into a real choice of OS? Expanded to other nokias (N8 N9 E7)?
