Hi All,

Just a quick question, Do you think it will be possible to run a secondary version of maemo off the microsd or internal memory that i could multiboot into.

Because apart from development, i also use my n900 as my primary phone. A secondary maemo would let me continue development on it and still not worry about messing anything up.

Thanks =)

I remember there was a topic about moving maemo to partition on 32GB flash. So, it should be possible to move it to external card.

Hm, whether or not you get it working, I suggest looking into my program, BackupMenu - It will allow you to get a copy of your rootfs/optfs files, which you can then copy over to your SD.

Alternately, simply having a proper backup of these will allow you to restore in a couple of minutes if/when you f*** things up.
