It slowly becomes a full featured and useful system. For instance, you can use it to run MeeGo Harmattan (Nokia N9 / N950) software on your old N900.... Even just by simply copying the files, without doing any changes, testers were able to run without any problems over 50% of the apps they tried. The other half didn't work out of the box but probably with some small tweaks compatibility can be further improved... See this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HtzwswaN-k...

Changelog includes: * Added Qt DigiNotar blacklists. * Fixed modest crashes. * Fixed camera-ui corrupting videos after switching to background while recording. * Fixed camera-ui overwriting user data. * Fixed portrait wallpapers in hildon-home. * CSSU rebased on top of official PR1.3.1 release. Please note that this is a testing release - that's what the T symbol in the version string stands for. Stable release should follow soon. Keep in mind that changing between stable and testing releases requires a reflash, so if you prefer to eventually have the stable release on your device without having to reflash it, skip this one and wait for the version marked with S in the release string....

Turned out to be a big mistake as I very stupidly allowed it to save files in the rootfs :oops: I can see them with midnight commander but it won't let me delete them - I'm assuming its not mounted or something and have now read enough to know mounting the root might not be good idea. Obviously with no rootfs space I have a read-only brick.
