Nice trap! ;) Yes, I just copied & paste the path given with the tag. 
With maemo5.0alpha instead of fremantle it's starting fine :) Thanks!

Two proposals for improving documentation at

http://maemo-beagle.garage.maemo.org/alpha.html

then:

- Extend 'Note: You will need to modify the sources.list file to 
include the closed binary repository. Editing sources.list, make sure 
you only add <yourtagishere> and don't copy and paste the *complete* 
link. That is, make sure to use  maemo5.0alpha/<yourtagishere> instead 
of fremantle<yourtagishere> given by the link''

- If you do 'Follow the SDK install instructions from here 
http://maemo.org/development/sdks/maemo5_alpha_installation/' at 
http://maemo.org/development/sdks/maemo5_alpha_installation/ there is 
"1. Download the scratchbox installer script." and "1.  Download the 
SDK installer script". But there are no links (?) where to download 
them from. I had to search a little until I found

http://repository.maemo.org/unstable/5.0alpha/

after a while. Maybe we should mention that somewhere?


Regarding "stop using this alpha port and somehow join forces to get 
the beta2":

Yes, this sounds really great! Most probably I could help with some 
testing and documentation review ;)

Until this ramps up, I will try to go on with alpha to learn tooling 
and doing (being aware that the result is 'alpha' stage).

Many thanks and best regards
