Hello guys this is my first post over maemo.org i hope i get some help I visited this page: http://meego.com/devices/handset/ins...ego-nokia-n900

I read the tutorial, downloaded files required (including W32diskimager)but one question i have is:
after downloading the meego image which is .raw.bz2 i extracted it to get the .raw file how can i write this file using W32diskimager? Shall i extract the .raw file and write the images in it? I tried this one but i found 2 images and a file. HELP please and thx in advance i'll be grateful.
P.S. I know this might sound a silly question but what can noobs do?

All you do is rename the .raw file to "Meego.img" and presto:-D You can now write it to your micro SD card.(This will wipe your entire memory card, as in EVERYTHING!)

I think every one has the right to mess up their device.

Correct but then they don't have the right to ***** and moan about it on the forum because they screwed up their N900 and say that it's a crap device instead of blaming their own inadequote technical skills.
