So this CSSU is the recommended '''update method''' for '''Maemo 5 Fremantle'''. It's not a new version of maemo distribution.

Power-users, developers, Nokia/Maemo/MeeGo engineers, testers, documentation writers and those willing to risk a re-flash in order to help can still install the testing version and stay as bleeding edge as possible inside CSSU universe, not implying CSSU will be the bleeding edge and pacemaker of development away from maemo5 towards something above and beyond (that's not what CSSU is meant to be and never will be, see above note about maximum compatibility).

# '''[NEW]:''' ''Since original Nokia system repositories vanished together with Nokia, please see http://wiki.maemo.org/Repository#Mirrors_of_standard_Nokia_repos_.28using_Application_manager.29 to get working source of core system components. You'll need that to satisfy dependencies of packages you're going to install during the process.''

# Install [http://maemo.org/packages/view/backupmenu/ backupmenu] . Do a full backup of your system. Get your battery charged up to state "green". All this is not mandatory but highly recommended, as usual. Plug in wallcharger. Get a softdrink of your choice :-)

# If you haven't done yet (unlikely): Upgrade to at least [[Maemo 5/PR1.3|PR1.3]], Nokia's last official major Maemo 5 update. PR1.3.1 is fine as well. If you're unsure if you have, ''Settings > About product'' should show ''Version'' beginning with '''20.2010.36'''(PR1.3) or '''21.2011.38'''(PR1.3.1). Make sure you have no too weird catalog settings in Application manager, esp it's recommended you never disable the core Nokia SSU repositories.

# In case you have modified hildon-desktop installed (you will know when you did that) remove it before taking further steps, all your settings will work since cssu does include all m-h-d changes. Rebooting the N900 prior to next step is probably a good idea, to make sure no memory hogs or anything is running. Make sure your device has a working connection to internet prior to next step, preferably via WLAN or a high bandwidth 3G data connection.
