Flashing from powerpc and linux
Hello All, Just got an N800 today. :) It looks like the only way to flash it from a powerpc and linux is to use 0x. Is that correct? It doesn't look like it can yet flash the image as a whole. But it can unpack the it into pieces as: 2nd, kernel, rootfs, xloader, initfs, secondary Will it work for me to then install the individual pieces? Or will I be missing something? Thank for your help, digger ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

That included unpacking a whole mess of components first. I later reflashed using the beta release of OS2008 for the N800, using my daughter's Linux laptop. In that case I did a unitary upload without first unpacking anything. Worked fine. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I've flashed from linux several times onto my 770s and now my 810, and have never needed to unpack components first... just download the flasher and the image, run the flasher with the command line from the howto on the maemo.org site. I can see the flasher breaking out the various components as it installs them one by one onto the tablet. Can't imagine it'd be different on PPC... ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Where is the 2008 Beta available at? At maemo.org I saw something asking for a serial number which I didn't have. Am I looking someplace incorrectly?

The serial number is also you mac address either look under the battery cover or on the label on the box you n800 came in. In both cases it will look something like WLAN xxx James I've flashed from linux several times onto my 770s and now my 810, and have never needed to unpack components first... just download the flasher and the image, run the flasher with the command line from the howto on the maemo.org site.
