if i have missed something just give me a kick

i have been "playing" with the android installation of the mele
not being able to read chinese i started to delete apps
in my enthusiasm i deleted the launcher
i have recovered and installed another one.

trick:
go into settings (there is a key on the remote) and assign a key to the 
market. then invoke that and install an alternative. i suspect you need 
a keyboard attached to the device to type the key.

anyway, it is time to stop playing and i want to build AOSP for the 
device. i will build an SD card, but was wondering where to go from 
there? has anyone any advice as to how to build a root filesystem?
