I'm getting a CRC error when unzipping mer-x86-generic-image-v0.6.vdi.zip using unzip or 7a. Using md5sum on the zip file, I get the following:
billt@darkside:~/Download$ md5sum mer-x86-generic-image-v0.6.vdi.zip
b5998d470f56dba1aec6f2a4f703ba70 mer-x86-generic-image-v0.6.vdi.zip
Am using Ubuntu 8.10 with 2-GB system RAM.
Can anyone help?

But, we have newest Ubuntu bluez, if that might explain your question.

Information about Mer can be found at http://wiki.maemo.org and release information and released files on [url]http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Releases/0.6[url].
I also has a list of known issues so please read them through first before installing.
For x86 there's both a filesystem tar.gz, and a VDI (VirtualBox appliance), for N8x0 both installer, tar.gz, and jffs2 + kernel images.
There's a friendly installer made by b-man for N8x0 as well, so people can try it out without having to reflash their tablets.
This release is mainly for very early adopters and hence you shouldn't expect too much of it.
THIS RELEASE IS ONLY FOR YOU IF:
* You know how to connect your tablet to your computer using usb networking if need be (for tablet version)
* You know what CTRL-ALT-F1 does on a traditional Linux box (for x86 version)
* You're not using clone-to-SD (unless you know how to make a bootmenu item for it) (for tablet version)
* You know how to figure out your tablets wi-fi IP on your wireless network, and how to SSH into it. (tablet version)
It is not a complete mobile OS like Maemo, yet, but it is a good way to start getting into Mer development and contributing to it, so we can make it a complete OS. Next release is 1st February 2009 (0.7)
A screenshot of current state (Mer 0.6/x86 on Virtualbox):
If you would like to help out with Mer (in any way), read through http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Sprints , and perhaps come hang out with us on IRC, #maemo on irc.freenode.net
Another screenshot (Mer 0.6 on N810), screenshot by meizirkki:
Thanks to all the people participating in Mer to get this release through: johnx, Meizirkki, r2d2rogers, qwerty12, wazd, zenvoid, b-man, Andrewfblack, etc. And of course thanks to Nokia for all the open source components, which without this project would not be possible.
