Do you want to install as many applications as you like?

I love the idea of twice as fast and full backup... any
chance this
works on the N800?

This is something I was waiting for, the previous
documentation was  
incomplete/fragmented/not-updated; this Sebas' howto is a
very good  
example of howto writing. I've been able to follow it
without any worry  
and everything works very well.

I have appreciated a lot the line he used in every document
edited:

"This procedure has been tested on a Nokia 770 with
ITOS 3.2006.49-2"

This type of statement is something I miss from other wiki
pages or maemo  
tutorials on web, where discovering that the stuff used by
the author is  
not the same of the user is left to the user himself,
sometimes with not  
so nice effects. This is especially true in this Maemo
world, where there  
are already two different hardware systems (770 and N800)
and each one has  
different versions of OS, with somehow confusing names, and
using one  
instead of another one usually is not the same.

Of course, this has nothing to do with quality of the wiki
pages, and of  
the authors: I've benefited from them a lot, many are very
well written  
and useful, and as a linux newbie I wouldn't have gone so
far without  
them. I really love the work that wiki authors have done, or
blog owners,  
etc. But I just want to underline the need of specifying
*ALWAYS* the  
hardware used for testing (770? N800? ...next model?) and
the OS version  
installed: this would simplify the path and avoid potential
problems  
derived from possible incompatibilities.

Hope this message is visible hidden in this thread - btw
feel free to  
spread the pray!

I have registered this as a documentation bug on bugzilla
as:
https
://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1042

it also links in to:
https:
//maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=770

where it seems that some tutorial code will not compile, so
has obviously therefore *not* been
tested.

Ola,
> I really don't think that's a bugzilla  worthy bug.
Ok, I was just following the guidelines here:
https://maemo.org/community/gett
ing-involved.html#Documentation+bugs+and+patches

However for wiki pages i agree some form of common style
guidelines would probably be better.I
have changed the status of the bug to invalid and added a
note about style guidelines instead onto
http:/
/maemo.org/maemowiki/DocumentationWanted

This seems more like
> a meamo-users conversation than a maemo-developers
conversation
I dunno, this depends on whether real devs read
documentation or not, no? ;)

Hi. I just wrote what I needed to be written. Instead of
complaining
about a lack of easy documentation, I decided to write it
myself. I
could not delete previous documentation about how to become
root or
partition the mmc, just because they told about different
things. The
knowledge they had is still valuable since they refer to
interesting
details of the system for developers or advanced users. So
that the
EASILY tag just tries to warn the reader that this is a
how-to for end
users. I found previous documentation not easy available for
them.
This kind of users just need their devices working ASAP,
without
having to previously learn a lot of documentation.

Salut, Sebas.
