Install OS

I installed Debian 5 stable. The ethernet driver in debian package does not work for the intel gb card. I used a usb nic that is compatible out of the box.

I ran through the default options, setting timezone as appropriate. I selected Guided Partitioning -> Use Entire Disk -> All File in One Partition. When asked which software I wished to install, I selected only 'Standard system utilites'

The following assumes a user account 'root' and 'maemo'. 'maemo' is a user account

To get the built in ethernet to work, I downloaded the newest e1000e driver

wget http://downloadmirror.intel.com/15817/eng/e1000e-1.1.19.tar.gz
tar zxf e1000e-1.1.19.tar.gz
cd e1000e-1.1.19/src
make
su -c 'make install'
reboot

I would prefer the onboard chip to be eth0 and forget the usb ethernet adapter. I opened /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and deleted the line for the USB device and changed the PCI device to be NAME="eth1"

Configure the network card (reference). I used

cat >> /etc/network/interfaces << E
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Setup OS

apt-get install sudo mercurial build-essential mtd-utils linux-headers-`uname -r` openssh-server parted
visudo
#add the line
%sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
gpasswd -a maemo sudo

IMPORTANT Newer kernels do not work properly when flashing the N810 firmware (flasher-3.0*). It is very important that you do not upgrade the kernel on the imaging machine.

OS Install

There aren't too many specifics for the operating system that is installed.

• Install Fedora 12 32bit
• select defauts for language options (English, US...)
• when partitioning select 'Use entire disk'
• when selecting software:
  • untick 'Office and Productivity'
  • tick 'Software Development'
• set root password appropriately

First Run

Set up time synchronizing as desired, create a user:

• Full Name: Maemo Flashing
• User Name: maemo
• Password :
