Just wondering if there will be a fix for swap partition not getting recognized or automatically enabled?

I don't reboot that often, but having to manually enable swap each time isn't the most rewarding way to start a new session.

Somewhat related, is there a way to enable command memory in xterm, similar to up/down arrow on the typical desktop Linux terminal?

I guess you would have to do something like this as root:

mkfs -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p0

EDIT: you will have to create this partition in the unallocated block first with sfdisk.

If you connect to a specific AP. Get Conler (Connection handler) that will run commands on connect. Then have it run as root with 'swapon /dev/mmcblk(# where swap is on)p(partition #).

Or create a bash script (I don't know how to do this) and put it in services?

The up and down on the D-Pad should do that. The history is only a few lines "deep" and there's no Ctrl-R history search, however.

i need some help. Im a total noob , i dont know much about cloning, but i need to clone my OS to my 8gb SD, where can i see STEP by STEP cloning to SD? I have a Nokia N810 with the latest firmware. Thank you

I had a similar problem >
Run PB , chose CFDISK in the menu,
and make a new FAT partition at the beginning of the free space.

I suppose you tried this, I did, but I had to format the new FAT partition from my Windows PC with my N810 attached by USB-cable.

BUT , my ext2 partition was "mmcblkXp2" (yours ---p1), perhaps diablo wants the first FAT partition to be ---p1 ??

If THAT is the case, I would like to know if partitions can be renumbered ?

( A suggestion for a slow way around :
Copy (e.g. with gtar) your ext2 partition to somewhere, "remake" your mmc, and copy back. )

Have you read the first post in this thread ?
If not, do, and download and install the Console Tools, use the second of the two links (in that post) just below each other.

Then start X-terminal and write "pbeasy <Enter>".
This program lets you do everything necessary to clone.
If you want other partitions than this program makes,
"PB" is not much more difficult to learn to manage.

The steps to clone are in order :
partition , clone , bootmeny .
I think Penguinbaits instructions will fill in the rest.

( It CAN happen that you have to format the FAT partition on your SD card again, possibly even from your PC.)

I am a complete (linux) newbie too, and I found Penguinbaits programs and instructions easy enough.

Good luck !
( If not, feel free to ask again, and I will try to answer, although maybe not the same day.)

Peet, did you try my fix? See "Newbie FAQ" on the first post.
