I do everything via my N900... You might want to try Ubuntu, you might have more luck(although, from what I have heard, Linux Mint is pretty similar to Ubuntu).

EDIT: Or if you feel like it you could install a VNC Server in Mint and let me try doing the partitioning etc. provided you have a decent up-speed.
(And that you don't have anything personal on it)

Wouldn't i be able to do it in xterm with sfdisk and download the .tar file and untar it to the memcard? To do everything without using vm/pc. Ihave the zImage4 flashed allready and that looks to be working and allso bootmenu

Or could i do steve's or kingoddball's toturial but with my N900 instead of a memcard reader?

Anyway thanks for the offer with the vnc, i might take you up on it if i for sure can't make it work otherwise

Yeah you could use DJ_Steve's / kingoddball's tutorial with your N900, just make sure you select the correct disk.

Do you know what that would be? /dev/sda or /dev/mmcblk1?

IIRC fdisk uses a different way to select disks, but as long as you use the N900 in mass storage mode and don't have any disk in Virtualbox attached then nothing should happen(assuming you use virtualbox).

So, I've just updated from Nitdroid 2.1 eclair to the new Froyo build.

Everything was working great for me in Eclair, so i just unpacked the new build to the SD card, and Froyo boots without a hitch. However, emmc and Wifi are not working.

emmc seems to be normal for now, but wifi is fixeable with this command: "chmod 755 /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks".

Can someone explain to me how i do this?

Unfortunately you can only do this with ADB(a Android debuging tool, basically). From what I've read in the IRC channel e-yes will build a new rootfs soon which should work without the need to run that command.
