The installation ain't easy. So I wrote a Linux script that installs it for you.
For the script see Post#18 in
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...ommands-like-reboot-recovery-2.html#post76433
The base is
Coby Kyros 7015 - How to install CyanogenMod (Froyo based) - xda-developers
Since the script is a simple text file you can read it and do the steps manually if you can not run it (i.e. no Linux yet).
One very different approach is that this creates a backup file before ever being installed. Then clockworkmod restores the new backup. Not the same approach as the zip files of the other ROMs
There are a few hurdles in doing it yourself. (the script handles these for you)
1 - /system is mounted read-only and you need to edit it!
2 - Touch screen doesn't work until boot - edit -boot.
Once installed some apks like AngryBirds fail to load. The fix is copy the apk to /nand/ Then go to Settings -> SD Card -> Unmount SD Card. Now install from /nand/ then you have AngryBirds. After it's installed you can mount the SD Card again.
The mali.ko graphics fix is not there yet. I found a mali.ko for 2.2 but the size is wrong and it will not boot for me. HELP IF YOU CAN!
EDIT: Post #6 has the graphics fix - AngryBirds text is OK now
WiFi requires you to first turn OFF ethernet.
