I have the boot menu but of course it won't boot off SD. The SD card doesn't appear to have been touched. I've now uninstalled it but still have the boot menu. Can I at least remove whatever is taking up my internal memory?

N800 with OS2008

edit->I did the suggested update but quickly came up with not enough memory.

OK, #1 DO NOT PUT A DEB ON A CARD AND TRY TO INSTALL IT WHEN IT WILL PARTITION THE CARD ITS SITTING ON.

TO FIX
open xterm
(you will need to become root)

rm -rf /device/*

if its full, its because the mount failed because the SD card was in use. So it started the tar, and filled up your flash in /device

Then put the deb on flash somewhere, like documents, then run it again.

Ouch, I just did not see that one coming
