    Also you said "I got the bootmenu (like always)"

    Was bootmenu already installed? Were you booted to flash when you installed it? What was on the SD card to begin with. It was supposed to wipe out the SD card, was that unclear to you?

    Did it corrupt your flash install?
    I read the first post. I understood the dangers, just complaining for the sake of complaining.

    Had bootmenu installed previously, does not look like anything changed there. The flash install looks ok now that I've had time to really look at it. I think instead of reflashing, I'll just reformat my MMC2 and take it from there. No biggie, I was having issues with Claws mail's data folder not showing up on MMC2 anyway. eh...

    BTW the log is filled with errors related to "you're not connected to the web so forget about those packages you little geek"
    HMMMM, I wonder if your flash still full 100%??

    Boot to SD, open xterm, become root

    mkdir /flash

    mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /flash -o rw,rpsize=1024,rpuid=0,rpuid=30000

    df
    (look at the output for df, is /flash at 100% full? )

    (if its full, delete some things, and boot back to flash)

    rm /root/install-tools

    rm -rf /flash/device/*


    Also the deb was installed in flash, so opening the log when booted to SD wont get me the correct log

    Ok, so I reformatted MMC2. I'm willing to give this another go around. Will try again in the next few minutes.

    (A) Just letting you know that it installed fine, first time. I don't know if it matters, but I did already have fanoush's boot menu. It left the boot menu the way it was, with the default and timing the way I had set it before, too. Great job. Thanks. It sure was painless and easy.

    (B) Penguinbait, I was going to edit "my" thread on cloning (see my signature) to suggest people head here for your debs instead. But I see some people have had problems and you consider it to be still in a "testing" state. Let us know when you feel it is beyond testing stage and I'll start re-directing users.

    can't be easier if done right.

    but an option for a larger FAT partition would be nice (I got a 8gb card)

    and can't get root now, is there a new password ?
    I give you sudo ALL=ALL in SD partition, you have to install becomeroot or the like for the flash partition.

    In the (boot from SD) just open xterm and type "sudo su -"

    This should make you root

    Hi,
    I'd really like to try this, because I never managed to partition my SD manually. Installing the deb just doesn't work for me either.

    I installed the package and this is what the log stated. Is local.sh the problem file? IŽd appreciate some help.

    You would need to remove KDE before installing. However the install process once complete is very simple to install KDEv2 without the deb..

    Hey PB! Just curious... did you make any changes to KDE from the last version that I installed 358v2 for the booting from mmc users?
