The MeeGo operating system is an open source project developed jointly by Intel and Nokia for laptop and netbook users. MeeGo OS is a combined Moblin project from Intel and Nokia Maemo. MeeGo provides enhanced support for touch commands, making it a complete platform for netbooks and tablets, as well as for application development. MeeGo is an easy, updatable and fast operating system.
The MeeGo operating system has the following features:
- Completely flexible and simple interface design.
- Easy to use operating system.
- An open source project with Linux Foundation forum support.
- Compatible with laptops, tablets and portable devices.
- Built-in applications necessary for work - browser, media players and so on.
So that the MeeGo operating system can be installed on your device, you can perform two options:
- Install the OS from the disk.
- Install from a USB flash drive.
It is recommended that you select the second path to avoid interruptions in the installation disk. The following is an example of a USB installation.
How is the MeeGo installation going ?
Download the MeeGo OS image from the official website and burn it to a USB drive. Be sure to check the memory capacity of the flash drive in advance (it should be significantly larger than the MeeGo image file).
Now, to write the image file to USB, you will need special software, since regular copying to a USB drive will not work.
If you are a Windows user, you need software called Win32DiskImager.
Installation Instructions for Windows Users
1. Download Win32DiskImager and extract the ZIP to the appropriate folder.
2. Download Win32DiskImager.exe from the folder. Select the MeeGo image (. IMG) from the file you downloaded. Select a letter for your USB drive (for example, drive F).
3. Press the button to record and select the option “burn image to USB”.
4. Once the recording process is complete, proceed to the next step.
Installation Instructions for Linux MeeGo Users
Using Image Writer, run a Python script that will detect your USB drive and then write the image to it. The advantage of using image recording is that there is no risk of accidentally overwriting information on your system hard drive. Run the following command to write image files one by one.
# CD
# CHMOD + x. / Image Writer
#. / Image Writer
Use the 'DD' command to exit the terminal.
Mac OS X User Guide
1. Open a terminal (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal).
2. Sort the DiskUtil list by type to see the entire list of devices.
3. Insert USB and enter the following command unmountDisk / dev / diskN (the value of N should be replaced by the number of the USB disk).
4. Then enter the command udo dd if = / path / to / downloaded.img of = / dev / diskN bs = 1m (path should be replaced with the downloaded image).
5. Then enter diskutil eject / dev / diskN (N is the number of the USB drive).
6. Download the image to your netbook.
7. Insert the USB drive into your netbook and restart the computer. Make sure the boot order is set up so that the USB drive starts up first. Now the MeeGo operating system will start to boot automatically . From the first seconds you can make sure that the download takes place in a matter of seconds, and the system interface is extremely easy and understandable to each user. In addition, the OS has built-in programs necessary for the full use of the netbook.
