Hi Nikita, That sounds interesting :) If I got it right you plan to create a new Distribution for N900 using the normal Debian archive and an additional repository containing the stuff from Nokia? Which kernel do you plan to use? Since almost everything is upstream it should be possible to use a proper Debian package, shouldn't it? Probably by creating a -omap3 kernel. I guess it's a good base to migrate step by step away from Nokia's proprietary stuff. P.S.: I'm in contact with the author of 0xFFFF because of another package I'm maintaining for him. He plans to improve N900 support in future (he already owns one, too). -- Sebastian
