Currently 2SDs: internal 1gb, formatted by installtools to 3 partitions, and removable 16gb, whole 16gb fat32 partition;
pb starts with nice bar and scanning process (if i quickly remove the onscreen keyboard on start, otherwise says 'esc pressed' after scanning)
then I click OK on clone, see fast running text and the message I wrote in a window.

Try running it as user from ssh, see if its still failing for you? It might be the onscreen keyboard of 800. I will try to test tomorrow

How do I do this? I already can boot from external memory with a swap partition created. How to use the swap partition when I boot from internal memory? thank you!

Edit: don't bother to answer. I found the answer (it seems that I can't delete this message?)

I'm using N800, diablo 43-7 version.
Installation: no problem.
Run pb: in window mode gives "Esc pressed" error, and back to prompt immediately. Runs fine in full screen mode.
Run Backup: I have both internal (8 gb with 3 partition) and external mmc (1gb). It only allow me to select mmcblk0 (1GB ext2 partition on internal card which contains my clone). I can't back up to internat fat partition or external card.
Run Bootmenu: My boot menu was wiped out after upgrading from 36-5 to 43-7. After run, reboot, and choose to boot up from internal card (it says mmc6), it fail to boot up (my internal card clone is still 36-5, cloned using install-tool). Do I have to re-clone? I would like to avoid re-cloning because I have installed different apps and configured differently from internal flash.
Run Swap: configured flash bootup to use swap partition on internal card. Reboot and seems ok.

Edit: After rebooting and re-running backup, it now always skip the 'select target' dialog, and displays an error dialog;You have selected to backup all data on /dev/mtdblock4 to Error: Expected at least 7 tokens for --radiolist, have 4 . ..."

I hit into more problems. Now whenever I run "pb", I got the error "sh: 1670: unknown operand". clone won't work. I also got the following error when I run "fdisk -l":
Error: /dev/mtdblock0: unrecognized disk label
Error: /dev/mtdblock1: unrecognized disk label (repeat until /dev/mtdblock4).

Any advice how to fix this? Thank you!

Its weird that I can't download this deb from my device. Instead of downloading, the browser opens the file and all I see is a bunch of gibberish. So I download on my pc and transfer to my device.

hold your stylus on the link, when the menu pops up, select save target as.

If your having trouble on N800 can you try from ssh and see if there is a difference??

Also run: maemo-list-user-packages from xterm and let me know the output.

Please provide the output for the following commands.

maemo-list-user-packages

fdisk -l

parted /dev/mmcblk0 print all
