I installed a small Debian system in a directory and tried to chroot to it, which failed because kernel (2.6.16 in 0S2006) is too old. > You can try to look at meego/mer/nemo team.

I'm comfortable with Debian-based systems, but not that much with Red-Hat-based ones. I'll try to extract a kernel from one of these MER images and hope it works ! > Btw, for testing kernels, do not flash it into device, rather load > it.

Yes, that's the way I'm doing it, thanks for the advice. > And do you really want to have Debian on Nokia 770?

Not that much, what I want is a free system (at least as free as it can be) with security-related updates, which is no more possible with Maemo on n770. I'll go deeper in MER project images and post feedback later to this list. Thanks.
