Thanks to some sudafed and a lot of patience, I finally got OS2008 loaded on my N800.
First I had to install Linux. I tried putting it on my dad's Dell 700m, since it had plenty of drive space free. But Ubuntu wouldn't install. So I cleared up some space on my Inspiron 8200 and Ubuntu installed with no problems.
I had already downloaded the flasher program and firmware and moved it to the home folder in Ubuntu. Yesterday, I kept reading the instructions from the cnet website wrong and gave up. Today, I found a better set of instructions on internet tablet talk and got it loaded
I got a real good sense of accomplishment when it loaded. I like that it auto loaded the backup my made. I dont like the icons so far. I should have a better impression of the new OS soon.
