Configuring Om 2008.8
Follow this [guide (Windows Users)]to share your internet with your phone.
To share your internet connection on a Linux host follow this Guide
After you install and run [Om 2008.8 ] for the first time you have to restart to get the USB working. Once you have done that you have to ssh into your phone (192.168.0.202) to edit your /etc/network/interfaces so you can access the internet through USB to install software and updates.
Edit the USB section to look like this:
# Ethernet/RNDIS gadget (g_ether) # ... or on host side, usbnet and random hwaddr auto usb0 iface usb0 inet static address 192.168.0.202 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 up echo nameserver 208.67.222.222 >/etc/resolv.conf up echo nameserver 208.67.220.220 >/etc/resolv.conf #up echo nameserver 192.168.0.200 >/etc/resolv.conf
Now edit the Multiverse repository (/etc/opkg/Multiverse-feed.conf) to fix a typo: Remove the duplicate "/" before Multiverse.
Create a file named zecke.conf and paste this into it to get the latest unofficial updates. (Temporary Repository)

(Restart your phone)
Now that you are able to install software, It is a good time to install "illume-config" to can gain access to more advanced power management features and to change the look of the GUI through the wrench that will now appear in the top bar. (Restart your phone)
The Media Player is basically useless due to the default theme. To install with a better theme run:
opkg install openmoko-mediaplayer2 wget http://abraxa.dyndns.org:81/random/openmoko-mediaplayer-theme.tar.bz2 tar xjf openmoko-mediaplayer-theme.tar.bz2 -C /usr/share/themes/Moko/gtk-2.0 rm openmoko-mediaplayer-theme.tar.bz2
