thanks for the pointer. unfortunatly this seems to be the same information as is in the wiki already, and it might totaly disappoint users by going down the many hours - many gigabyte road of compiling your own moko from scratch as far as I can see. I found out all I had to do, was download a recent image from buildhost.openmoko.org, flash it to my neo, setup usb networking, ssh to the neo, cut&paste some pygtk example and i could start my hello world application. maybe 15 minutes (plus many hours before for collecting all the necessary information). I put my experience into the wiki at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User:AndreasJellinghaus/GetStarted maybe this could be converted into some more prominent page? or should we add lots of warning before someone bricks his moko? (I included a few warnings already, and I can't do another run to verify everything, as currently buildhost.openmoko.org is down.) Regards, Andreas
