 ==Setting Up Scratchbox==
-The maemo SDK is based around a tool called scratchbox.  Scratchbox is a sandboxed emulator that you run on a fast development machine to configure, compile and run (test) the binaries that are to be installed on a target mobile device.  It eliminates a lot of the difficulties associated with traditional cross compilation by essentially letting you pretend you're not cross compiling.  To set it up, Nokia has written a very useful script called maemo-scratchbox-install.

 These instructions are for setting up a new scratchbox installation.  If you have an existing (i.e. 3.2/bora) scratchbox installation, you'll have to set an alternate path for the installation.
