Yeah.
It's funny, I didn't want to copy data to the root, and then extract to the MMC, so I moved ukki's code to the preinst script and set my symbolic link there, so the regular install would just install to the linked directory. Sounded like a great idea.
But, the installer was trying to change group information on the files as it extracted them, but since it's on a FAT MMC card, it wouldn't work. (If I had my groups right on the original files, it might have been OK, but I'm doing alot of this from my tablet..)
So I still used his method of tar'ing up the data and extracting it. It still didn't take up too much space (3MB) and I delete that file when I'm done.
There's a newer method that looks nicer using gxmessage, but the version I saw was compiled for a newer version of the OS, and I really want mine to hopefully work on all versions of the OS.
