# Mount your new ext4 slice and unpack the .tar.gz dist ([https://maedevu.maemo.org/images/n9/20180425/maemo-leste-1.0-armhf-n9-20180425.tar.gz N9 - 20180424], [https://maedevu.maemo.org/images/n950/20180425/maemo-leste-1.0-armhf-n950-20180424.tar.gz N950 - 20180424]) to it.
# Configure <code>ubiboot.conf</code>.  This guide assumes you will use slot 5 for Maemo Leste ([https://github.com/dderby/ubiboot-animatronics/blob/master/ubiboot.conf example]):
#* Set '''G_OS5_INITSCRIPT''' to <code>\/sbin\/preinit</code>
#* Set '''G_OS5_NUM''' to <code>1</code>
#* Set '''G_OS5_PARTITION''' to the partition number of your Maemo Leste slice
#* Set '''G_OS5_NAME''' to <code>Maemo</code>
#* Set '''G_OS5_1_LABEL''' to <code>Maemo Leste - Linux 4.16</code> or whatever description you like
#* Set '''G_OS5_1_FILE''' to <code>/boot/Maemo/boot/zImage</code>
# Reboot to ubiboot and select the slot for Maemo Leste.
If you don't want to repartition your eMMC, there are two alternatives:
* Use [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=94042 N9 Easy Boot].
* Unpack the dist to Harmattan's <code>/home</code> directory and set '''G_OS5_PARTITION''' in ubiboot.conf to <code>3</code>.  This will result in Maemo Leste sharing a slice with Harmattan's <code>/home</code>.  Be careful when removing Maemo Leste, not to remove Harmattan's <code>user</code> or <code>developer</code> home directories.
