MeeGo 1.1 isn't out yet, give us a little bit of time 
What will happen if things go right:
* Package install from extras-devel that enables the u-boot boot loader.
* Upon startup, if there is a SD card that's bootable, it will boot the SD card, with MeeGo. Otherwise, it will boot Maemo.
More customized setups are possible for the daring.
However. You might need to use a u-boot suitable SD card image and I can't promise it'll be around on exact day of 1.1, but we'll see what we can do.

Stskeeps, Is the dual boot stuff only suited for Meego, or will it also make it easier to install e.g. Ubuntu?

Looking forward to having three great mobile OS's on the N900.

What about "hold X to boot Maemo/Meego" ? So that its not needed to remove the card each time you want to boot back to Maemo.

I am wondering how I can use the new dualboot feature and install Meego on my N900, like it was announced in this blog: http://meego.com/community/blogs/har...-calling-n900?
Is there a guide/documentation available?
Thanks,
