 Back up and restore /etc/apt/sources.list.  You need to be root.

 Does that work?  I thought the new /etc/apt/sources.list has
 scirocco instead of mistral.

 I just checked -- the default /etc/apt/sources.list is the same in both
 firmware images (SU-18_2006SE_1.2006.26-8_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin and
 SU-18_2006SE_2.2006.39-14_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin).

 If you have added other repositories, you may need to change them.

 I think that apps compiled for mistral will install and work on
 scirocco, and I know that the reverse is not true.

Thanks, that was very helpful.

/etc/apt/sources.list after I flashed IT2006v2 before I realized that;
is the file different from mistral?  I haven't had any trouble
updating so far, but I want to be sure.

[maemo-users] An Easier Way to Add Repos After a Flash / Reflash

2006-12-05 Thread Amichai Rotman

Hi all,

Wouldn't it be nice to have an easy way to add the repos on the MaemoRepos
list in an automatic fashion - i.e. import some file from the xterm (after
adding the one repo that containes the osso-xterm package.

Better yet: It would be nice to have a PostFlash HOWTO N770 friendly - an
HOWTO I'll surf to from my device and perform the steps for all those thing
we all do anyway after flashing (Didn't we all enable the becomeroot, added
the repos and installes apps like osso-xterm and FBReader?)

Your thoughts?

Amichai

Start a page on http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ and we'll chip in.
