Why do you want to erase Maemo from N900 ?
If you want to test MeeGo on eMMC, please repartition your eMMC to make room for MeeGo and then install it on eMMC
I already repartitioned the emmc with 8gb for meego..but do you know how to install and create a multiboot entry for meego?

Sadly meego can't work simply with multiboot. You need u-boot and some guys here have managed to make it to chainload multiboot so they can also boot nitdroid but it's far from stable

Can someone please explain why meego can not be developed to install as an os directly to the N900 because quite frankly this sd method is bad and many people are just not able to use it due to lack of programming knowledge.
This development has been on going for many months now and i really am suprised it is not available as a flashable image over Maemo.

Why is this the case when we have got Maemo working as an os, why is meego that big a file that it cannot be used as the os directly?.
Surely something can be done about this?.
One thing i do want to point out is when people realise the power of meego on the N9 they are going to feel unhappy if this os is not in place and ready for the N900.

plus it has a lot of annoyances/downsides, etc

Yes I prefer a little slower OS but with the ability to install whatever I want (e.g. LibreOffice)
For example look at the thread about moving maemo to the eMMC. Some say it's even faster than it is on the NAND.

It''s not as if a 4gb class 6 microSD is actually expensive.......
Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
