Dear friends,
Thanks for all your suggestions. Looks like this list was the correct one
to submit questions to :-)
A couple of small follow-up, if I may:
1) updating the firmware: I have been using only GNU/Linux since 2000
(mostly Debian). I could try to find somebody with W2k or XP, but is there
no GNU version of the software update at Nokia?! Surely this Debian-based
unit has a Debian-based updating option?
Yep check downloads section of maemo for linux based flash utility
Also - since don't suppose
'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade' would work - why can't the 'check
for updates' option of the application manager now allow a complete firmware
update? Is it in the ROM?
Nokia plan to add apt-get dist-upgrade support and have discussed
adding a meta package
2) batteries: just to see if I got this one right - I can leave the unit
permanently connected to the charger and the batteries will be ok?
I think so if left charging the device runs off the charger leaving
the battery alone. It's a smart charger so it should do the right
thing.
3) metalayer-crawler0: how do I disable this and could I simply let the unit
sit for 5 minutes after boot-up instead?
This process scans the card indexing the media it finds so it can take
a little time if there is a lot of files, or a broken file, supposed
to have been improved in the latest firmware release.
6) system crashes: how does one reinstall/fix a N800 unit after a major
crash? Assuming that I - as roo - do something I should not, or that by
installing the wrong software I really screw-up my tablet terminally. How
can I rescue/reinstall it? Is there a way to bootup the unit in CLI to fix
any X/GUI problems?
reflash
