And we are impatient, despite > after waiting months, we want it on our precious N900 right now. :) Dunno if I got it all right but let me summarize what I experienced so far: - some hours ago the packet manager informed me about a Maemo 5 update. - when I try to install it, it recommends a backup and asks me to connect my phone with the PC suite (which is assumingly some Windows crap and I don't use a Linux phone to then need a Windows PC to upgrade it). - so I tried apt-get dist-upgrade which asks me to upgrade more than 1000 packages which fails because of insufficient disk space. - so the only possibility for me to get the new version on my phone would be to reflash it and then pray that nothing goes wrong and I will have all the software installed like before. Did I miss something? Isn't their a more comfortable way? Regards Oleg -- "Why do all the things have to change Just when they mean the most?" The God Machine, It's All Over
