Thanks, Penguinbait, for your work. After a few false starts, where the application failed to install, it successfully installed on the 3rd try and I'm now booting from the card.
My question is do I enable virtual memory (it is currently not enabled), through the control panel or is the swap partition already doing this? Thanks.

quick and stupid question - is there a way to clone a cloned sd card? Was thinking that my use of an 8GB card might be a bit overkill - but of course, I've already added like a bunch of things to my cloned SD card already and didn't want to have to do it again.
So, is it possible:
1. to clone your SD card to another SD card
2. would it have to be exactly the same size to clone it or could you go to a different size SD card (say from an 8 to a 4GB card)?
and thanks for your great work for the tablet - it has made it all the more useful birthday present to myself
These are the steps:
1. Put the SD card to a USB adapter and plug it into your PC;
2. Boot your PC to Ghost and ask it to creat an disk image of your SD card. This takes quite a long time as the USB transfer is very slow under DOS; and lastly,
3. Change to a new SD card (you can use any card size as long as the card size is larger than the data size) and ask Ghost to put the image created in (2) above to this SD card. At this stage, you can change the size of each partition (Fat, Boot and swap). Now, you have an exact copy of the SD card and also your desired partition size.
I have made two copies this way myself, one for both testing programs and for daily use and one for keeping. If I install and test a program and find it useful, then I will install it to the card for keeping and then make a fresh image. This saves me a lot of time and trouble in future.

My cloned SD keeps on changing with new progs installed, very rarely it stays the same for months.
thanks fieldside,

Any idea on how to fix a messed up partition table? My 16 GB SDHC got corrupted somehow (probably due to me stupidly removing the battery when the tablet froze with the camera application and nothing would power it off).
I wound up reformating it but now it only shows the FAT partition (11 GBs). So I'm missing the rest of it (which was my ext2 partition that the OS was on).
I tried using the Panasonic LLF but it only shows up those 11 GBs.
Edit: GParted (a partition manager in Linux) can't find the ext2 partition either.
