Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 
I'm not sure if I had a card in the slot or not, I want to say no. It doesn't matter now, I'm up and running.... linus is talking to me... or at least was until I rm -rf /root/.linus

When I find some free time, I'll figure out how to change bootmenu initfs flasher time out from 30 seconds to ~3 since /mnt/initfs/bootmenu.conf is on a read only partition. It looks like I may have to re-install fanoushes initfs_flasher with my modified bootmenu.conf file. Something I'm weary of doing.

cd /root/install-tools

edit bootmenu.conf and change timeout

run initfs_flash and it will reboot with new timeout

If you disable the telnet and ssh servers, there's enough room to write.
Pull a
Code:

mount -o remount,rw /mnt/initfs/
and you'll be able to write to it. That's what I do, then use joe to edit things.

penguinbait- easy enough, thanks for the simple recipe, it worked like a charm.

Benson-I didn't know about the remount option. I have adiquate vintage unix know-how, so I can pick up this linux stuff fairly quickly.... assuming I have the time to sit down and read/do research. Playing with this tablet is motivating me to install linux on one of my PCs.

No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/mmcblk0p2

This is a known issue, you must reboot and re-run
