Yo!
Another way to cutomise your Internet Tablet, splash screens for your n770 or n800. No more nasty Nokia logo and those weird hands. This is just like custom icons on your IT. Again, this is meant for Ubuntu and Debian users. (Windows users can actually do these steps by using Putty. Which I have no experience with :( ) These are the splashes I use on my 770, but if have some you'd like to share, drop me a link in a comment and I'll try and put them up for the world to see!
Let's get to it!
1. Install this on your Debian/Ubuntu computer.
2. Install openSSH on your tablet. (If you have Dropbear, get rid of it first.)
3. Shut down and then power up your tablet, making sure it is on the same network as your computer.
4. On your tablet, go to Application --> Tools --> Connection Manager
5. In the connection manager, open the menu, or use the hard button with the menu icon on it. A small menu will now appear in the upper left hand corner of the screen, click Internet Connection --> IP Address
6. On your Ubuntu/Debian box, open gFTP. As the username, type in root and as the password, type in rootme. As the "host", put in the IP you got at STEP 5. And make sure to select SSH2 as the protocol instead of FTP.
7. Your IT's files should now be pulled up, navigate to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon
8. Transfer these splashes, or make your own if you want ;) Just remember to keep the names and resolutions exactly the same.
