Hi everyone.
am completely new to Maemo/Linux .
I am trying to install Maemo on fedora core 8.
I am trying the automatic installation procedure but got stuck...so,please advice on what I should do to complete the installation.
These are the steps I followed--
1) downloaded maemo-scratchbox-install-4.1.2.sh & maemo-sdk-install-4.1.2.sh into a folder on the Desktop named 'maemo1'
2) in command window-
$ cd /root/Desktop/maemo1
$ sudo sh ./maemo-scratchbox-install_4.1.2.sh -u user
[lots of instructions appear]
$ sh maemo-scratchbox-install_4.1.2.sh -s PATH /scratchbox
[lots of instructions appear]
$ sh maemo-sdk-install_4.1.2.sh
[lots of instructions and the last sentence says 'Script not run as root user..no'
E:This script shouldnot be run as user root. ]
I don't understand what's wrong.According to the documentation given in the PDFs in maemo.org,I should be getting a message box asking me for choices.
Do I have to create another user id and login using that and then run the last command? Currently, I am logged in as 'root'.
Please advice.[I have attached the messages I got in the command window in word format]
Thanks for any help.
