Dont forget about all those docs, I only need a userguide in english.

For that matter I dont need a userguide at all.

Sorry PB, but after a fresh flash and some tinkering with kernel and initfs, seems I can't install. Any tips for a geezer?

UPDATE: Uninstalled bootmenu-installer, rebooted, and tried again. Unable to install. Tried again. Unable to install. Tried again. Unable to install. Tried again. Installed.

Thanks again for the tools, PB!

trying to overwrite `/root/install-tools.tgz', which is also in package bootmenu-installer
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed


Uninstall bootmenu-installer first. Its ok, all my install-tools and bootmenu-installers are designed to be removed after install is complete.

Hi Pb, I too upgraded to Diablo and wanted to know if there is anything different that I should do or not do before trying to boot from SD. Can I follow the directions for the Chinook OS when installing it? Or would it be better (easier) to revert back to Chinook?

The installers have all been updated for Diablo ;)

Just use the existing links

Hi all (woo - first post) I'm very new owner of an N800 (less than a month now), no programing skills whatsoever, and I've been lurking this site for about 2 months. I've recently flashed to the new diablo OS2008 and I've been wanting to install KDE for the KOffice option, so following your post in the KDE section, I came to this thread to try and make my N800 boot off the SD card... and of course, I ran into a problem :)

so, without further adieu... attached is my log file - hope it sheds some light on my problem (other than being clueless...) I called it 'second attempt' because the first time I did it, it didn't look like the file had all the available info...

Thanks in advance!

Well, this worked on the first try. Thanks VERY much.

And imagine my surprise to see Samba shares in the File Manager!! Woo hoo.

However, only the shares on my wife's Windows XP system are visible, the shared folders on my Windows XP system are not (even though I can access them on my XBMC setup).

Can anybody suggest the change I need to make in my PC config to see these SMB shares? Thx!

The log says:

ERROR
SD CARD IS IN USE - SAVE DEB TO FLASH AND RE-RUN
ERROR

Either you have Virtual Memory enabled, or you saved the deb file on the SD card you are trying to partition

Is it passwoded? I think the Samba that comes on the Tablet doesn't have support for password protected shares yet.

I can confirm this works nicely on 2008HE. Just successfully cloned on my 770 with a 1gb mmc card. At first I forgot to turn off the swap, but then worked perfectly! Thanks PB!
