- | + | Community Seamless Software Update (CSSU) is being developed by the Maemo community, ''for'' the Maemo community. It aims to deliver fixes which can't be delivered easily through Extras, such as core Maemo packages. It won't, however, bundle software which can be installed through the Extras repositories. | |

In all, there are a series of installations for which HAM will prompt you with messages and warnings. Click "accept" and "done" for each and let HAM install all the community packages. | |
- | + | # Once done (ie. no further install prompts appear after some while), close HAM and go into the applications menu. Look for ''Community SSU'' and launch it. This will then automatically run through a series of scripts to ensure HAM will now be using community repository for updates. | |
