===== N770 Configuration =====

This is a complete list of steps I went through to configure my N770 in case I have to go through them again. Since I had previously messed the settings up. I am starting with a reflash to the latest version.

 I couldn't get [[ http://maemo.org/community/wiki/howto_easily_boot_from_mmc_card/ | these instructions]] to boot from the MMC to work because the rsync/tar command at the end to clone the installation failed so I will be using my MMC as secondary storage only (e.g. for dictionaries, cached maps, media files etc).

  * Upgrade to the latest official version using [[ http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HOWTO_FlashLatestNokiaImageWithLinux | these instructions]]. Currently this is 3.2006.49-2. I am not brave enough to try the unsupported OS2007 Hacker Edition yet.

  * Tools-> Control Panel -> Connectivity , fill in my Home WiFi info. This is necessary because my network is hidden.
     * Click on Conections, then on next
     * Fill in "Home WWCF", select WLAN, don't scan
     * Fill in name, select hidden checkbox, WPA pre-shared key
     * Close, choose select connections and connect

  * Follow [[http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HowTo_EASILY_BecomeRoot | these instructions]] to become root and install an xterm.

  * Set user password, lock the root account, install ssh
    <code>
    $ sudo gainroot
    $ passwd user
    $ passwd root
    $ passwd -l root
    $ apt-get install ssh
    </code>

  * Formatted my MMC with two partitions, a 500 MB vfat (mmc1) and a 1.5GB ext2 (mmc2). [[http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HowTo_EASILY_Partition_your_MMC_card | Instructions here ]].

  * Run  {{notes:n770:fixup.txt| this script }} to automount the ext2 partition and make links into the desktop directory. The code is a fixed and modified version of the script [[ http://maemotalk.feelslikeburning.com/2006/04/20/maemo-shell-environment-fixups/ | here ]].

  * Setup a bios lock. Control panel -> device lock. Lock device after 30 mins.
