Is 'next batch of Freerunners' referring to further units destined for developers and enthusiasts, or units targeting consumers?
For the former: I'd think OM2008.08, 'opkg upgrade'd past a few irritations, with developer-friendly keyboard (g) and Terminal. These people should easily be up to the task of flashing to whatever they wish, though a tool (ncurses and gui lin/win) to manage flashing, store and index possibly multiple backups, etc would be handy. For the latter: Qtopia, with a one-click 'installer' on CD or thumbdrive that lets user backup flash to desktop, flash OM2008.08 from media, look for newest OS images on net, etc. If OM2008.08 has acquired a bit more maturity, I'd consider it for consumers, with Qtopia being the default interface the user sees, but not just Qtopia apps accessible in the installer. j On Tue, 19 Aug 2008 19:00:48 -0700, Steve Mosher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That was actually an option we considered. > > Michele Renda wrote: >> >> Ship with nothing and everyone put what want >> >> So nobody can say it is not a complete software :) >> >> >> steve wrote: >>> Good question. >>> >>> Here are the options. >>> >>> 1.
