Re: Cloning OS to SD Card: Simplified instructions
 

Here's the deb link for Chinook wget:

Download it to the device and install (if you can) with "dpkg -i <filename>".

Re: Cloning OS to SD Card: Simplified instructions
 

Milhouse,

Thanks I will try.

Questions:

Where do I download to?
Once I place the file in the right directory.
The "dpkg -i <filename>" is that after the "#" once I'm in sudo gainroot?
Idea when I tried "-f install" it asked if I had solution to missing files. Can I put the "dpkg -i <filename>" in there and what filename should I give it?
I'm trying to understand how I can be missing so many files and my n800 works flawlessly so far.
Thanks,
Dan

Anywhere you like - not sure where the default download location is, but I tend to favour /tmp as temporary location which is easy to find.

Yes.

I don't think so.

While attempting to install an application in the past something (I have no idea what) has become corrupted within the database that is maintained by apt - the device itself is fine, it's just the application installer (apt) that is a bit screwed up and is now preventing you from installing any further applications until whatever corruption has occurred is corrected. Unfortunately I don't know an easy way to achieve that in your situation.

Milhouse,

I went and loaded wget file directly to application manager. it says it loaded wget successfully! Thanks for getting me the file. I guess my research paid off. Bunanson had a fifferent problem but he needed wget like I did.
Do I go straight to loading "e2fsprogs package" can you get me the direct link so I can just load to application manager like I did with wget.
Many many thanks bro! :) Still have a ways to go but I'm getting there thanks to you and many others. lol, Dan

Re: Cloning OS to SD Card: Simplified instructions
 

I am not quite where does that come from. I somehow able to clone to 4G/2G/1G SD cards, I just cannot do 8G. And I keep getting this partition error message that not a soul has mentioned. Waiting to see your partition message........

Milhouse,

Many thanks. Screen shot message below.
Any idea where I could get these files?
Just trying to understand this mess and how it occurred and how to fix. Is there another way to load 'e2fsprogs'
Thanks,
Dan

Re: Cloning OS to SD Card: Simplified instructions
 

Bunanson,

Hey thanks for the tip on 'wget".
Any ideas how to get 'e2fsprogs' loaded?
I can't wait to see what the memory portion brings? :)
Is your n800 running fine overall?
Mine runs flawlessly. This is the first time this has ever come up. I've been using sudo gainroot, nano, etc... for two weeks with no errors.
Now it's fireworks everytime I try to load through xterm.

Any input would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks, lol, Dan

Bunanson,

No luck finding missing files above.
I'm using an n800 with os2008 so the first entry would not work for me since that is for os2007.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
