Yes, I found that and set off a torrent download of the Chinook VMware scratchbox environment last night. It had finished this morning but I can't find where it put it :-/ > Now that the N810 has a physical keyboard more people will be inclined > to run emacs on it.

Do you have any more details on the kind of extra support? > The 2008 apps are still being few and scarce. For that reason I have > set up a dual boot in my N800. That sounds clever. I have yet to find good docs explaining how the mounting scheme works with the internal flash memory. > One more issue. You won't have space in the internal memory to install > it. You need to format a card using ext2, and then mount it (internal > or external) and symlink to it. The N810 only has one external slot, but it does have a built-in 2GB card. I'd be pretty worried if emacs couldn't fit in that! But I don't know how to install to it rather than the internal memory. > Alternatively you can install the OS in an external card and boot > into it (my preferred choice). Again, would be very interested to know how this works.
