Do you have any more details on the kind of extra support? No idea. Just one comment in the maemo users mailing list. But without Ctrl- support in the virtual keyboard it will be difficult to use. perhaps the solution for us (n800 users) is to hack the keyboard and add ctrl. >> The 2008 apps are still being few and scarce.

I am not sure how file system is distributed in the 810. in the 800 the internal memory is used for root, and /media/mmc2 is the internal card. >> Alternatively you can install the OS in an external card and boot >> into it (my preferred choice).

Make sure you rename the original /usr/local so you don't lose it (I think it is empty out-of-the box). You need to install ncurses-base and ncurses-term --dmg -- -- Daniel M.
