- 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.
