HOWTO Install Fedora 12 on Nokia N900
It boots up happily. No GUI, no phonecalls, no battery charging support, etc.
Kernel
You will need to install a kernel that has a framebuffer console. You can use your own or use mine. See: Installing my custom kernel if you would like to use mine. Version 2.6.28-omap1-jebba5 is known to "work".
rootfs
I have four partitions on my MicroSD card. The first one is 100M of VFAT just to shut up fremantle. The second is 1G of swap. The third is 7G of space for fremantle. The remaining space is around 7G of space for Fedora. You can install it in far less space, but I have a 16G card, so that's what I did. These docs assume you use my partitioning. The docs also do the install from within Fremantle, but you can set it up on your workstation too, of course.
Set up in fremantle
Boot into your system like "normal".
