antranigvhey friends, question, what can I do with my N900? the problem is that most websites are not working with the browser due to SSL issues, etc.16:21
antranigvcan I install one of the BSDs?16:21
KotCzarnydo you need phone part?16:21
antranigvwhat do you mean? no my N900 is working fine, altho the screen is in bad state, but maybe I can change that from my other N900 :P16:22
KotCzarnyif you dont need phone calls, you can help testing maemo-leste16:22
KotCzarnywhich is latest and greatest maemo so far16:22
antranigvwow never knew about that16:22
antranigvwill 3G work?16:22
antranigvah never mind, I'm always on WiFi anyway16:23
KotCzarnythat's why've asked for phone part16:23
Wizzupno ui for 3g yet, but it can work with some cli commands16:23
KotCzarny3g data might work16:23
antranigvmaemo-leste? how can I test that?16:23
antranigvand in case shit gets fucked up, I can revert back again like before right?16:23
KotCzarnykeep in mind its very alpha phase16:23
KotCzarnyand yes, n900 is unkillable16:23
antranigvyes <316:24
KotCzarnyflasher can back you up16:24
antranigvlink plase?16:24

DocScrutinizer05antranigv: backupmenu is your friend ;-)22:53
DocScrutinizer05~bm22:54
infobotit has been said that backupmenu is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=63975, or one-click install handling dependency issues: http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/et_al/HAM-catalogs/BM.install22:54
DocScrutinizer05easy revert to not only stock maemo but actually a complete and exact image of your system like it had been at the time you made the backup22:55
DocScrutinizer05going from "stock" (aka normal) maemo to maemo-leste *again* is even more simple yet - you don't even need to flash the stock kernel or install BM since all that already is there. Just reboot with slider open and restore the maemo-keste backup file you previously prepared22:58
