As with all warrantees, if you do something to break it, you get to
keep both pieces. So generalizing about installing anything

In summary, why not using the Zero Install way (by Thomas Leonard, the man

My other big complaint is that the entire device has to be reflashed in
order to run the new version of the OS. Why can't they update different
pieces, like the browser, or the kernel? Since the browser and flash
player hasn't been updated, I don't think I will update my Nokia 770.

Also, on a mobile device, it's much more likely that the battery runs
out, or drops out (if user is a bit thoughtless). If this happens when
you're running dist-upgrade, you've bricked your device.
Well, not really.. you can still flash it. Or reboot from memory card

Just to clarify, we expect (and encourage) users to install 3rd party
software. See the Maemo effort and the progress being done

I disagree that Debian is a developer or "linux user only" distribution.
My company uses it for production work since five years. But that's a
matter of taste, I guess.

hi,
why not implement something like having the post-installed softwares
on the MMC (yes, i am aware of the speed issue) so that we can just
flash the what-so-ever firmware updates, and still be able to use
directly the installed software straight with little tweaking (perhaps
updates for these s
Except maybe for the time taken to do backup & restore, re-flashing
the device is both faster and easier than dist-upgrade. The backup &
restore could be improved somewhat, especially in regards to application
installer though. Automatic restoring of packages after reflashing
could be risky th

Hi,
I have one question.
When I have installed the Navicore software on ITOS 2006.39,
will I have to deactivate it before reflashing and after that
activate it again, or is the Navicore license only tied to the MAC
address instead of being tied to the firmware?
