Yup.. pretty sure i got the idea that .ext2 was a disk image. Similar to an iso.
And that .bz2 are like a .zip or .rar file.
What I dont know how to do is extract files from the bz2 and create a ext2 image out of them. Only amount of linux i have used is the tiniest amount of ubuntu and the n900. heh.
did a quick search on how i might be able to do this and I was sent to this site: http://www.fs-driver.org/
theres a post in the forums explaining how, but its something along the lines of making a 2 gigabyte image
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/file/file2G.img bs=1M count=2048
Code:
mkfs.ext2 file2G.img
Code:
mount /path/file2G.img /media/image cd /media/image
extract.
Code:
tar xjvf nameoffile.bz2

Cool thanks for all the info! Even after all that I am sure it wont be as easy to just replace the other ubuntu image, but at least I learned something!
Will certainly give it a try.

I don't know how long that project has come. Or what's currently working or not. I tried it out earlier but do not have a sd-card to do so now.
