I really dont like these long install scripts. When it works it's good
but if not, it's really hard to find where is problem.

I think Debian should be offered as ready-for-flash image. I am creating
debian images from scratch for every QtMoko release using instructions
in simple txt document [1] and it always works perfectly. In contrast
with the install script - i never managed to install debian with it.

Btw you can flash QtMoko images, delete /opt and /etc/inid.d/qpe and you
have plain installed debian.

Btw that poll is not very well done. QtMoko is the very last column that
is not visible (in firefox on jaunty). I am doing that distro and i
nearly havent voted for it :)
