I have keep trying your install tools deb on a n800 internal 4GB card. Afterwards, the device storage is always 1.68GB which looks like the 2GB configuration above. But it appears that I should get about 3.5GB? Should I instead be using the manual config you refer to at http://tablethacker.com/wp/?p=151&lang=en-us#more-151 to get the right size?
Thanks.
My suggestion is if you have 25 MB free on flash, use new mgmt-tools gui with gparted.
The install went well and I can boot from internal SD. But something strange is going on. The n800, whether booted from flash or SD, complains that both SD cards are corrupt (they are not), even after reformatting the external one. I am stumped.
Edit: My n800 can no longer read any SD card while booted from flash or SD card. Any suggestions other than re-flash?
Hey Penguinbait I was wonder if it is possible to clone the internal kde mmc to a usb thumbrive or hdd for back up reasons ....... if so could you please point me in the right directions ?? I have a n800 running latest Diablo with 4gb sdcard I have a ton of usb flash and hdds so space is not an issue Thanks
p/s I love your kde install !!
I just followed post #1 to clone OS with diablo to internal sd. Then I entered the command chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:mmc2 to set default boot to mmc2. It returns "chroot not found". I try sudo gainroot, cd .. to the top, same result. The instruction states I need to become root.
Since I am not good in linux, I think I left out same thing.

Look at mgmt-tools, its exactly what you want. Kind of large and it will be the only version of mgmt-tools, I am working on a complete rewrite called console-tools. but thats not important. What is important is you can is mgmt-tools to clone to another partition, including USB Disks. And even better you can backup and restore to tar or very slowly to tgz files. From any partition to any partition on any SD or USB disk.
found chroot command. need to type \usr\sbin\chroot
but get permission denied.
type sudo \user\sbin\chroot
ask for password which I never set up.
What to do?
