Not trying to offend anyone. Its just whenever I meet a guy, that fixes everything. Its usually one of those old guys like my grandpa was. He could fix anything. Engine blew up, let me make a new set of pistons on the lathe. He could do anything, although not on computers. More of an old shools mechanical engineer.

I have had lots of different jobs myself. Carpenter, Brick laborer, Brick Layer, never worked on cars for a living, but I have replaced a few engines when I had to :)

"computers were my hobby...now there my livelyhood"

Ditto, and 36 myself

Will this install a bootmenu even if, during installation, there are no SD cards in any slot? I'm working on a how-to showing how to modify bootmenu with Fanoush's initfs_flasher in order to have one's personal information (I have email and phone number) on boot menu in case of loss. This worked like a charm, but I already had a bootmenu from your install-tools.deb. I want to know what to tell those who haven't cloned, and may not wish to clone.

Thanks!

It will, however it scans the partitions and sets up the bootmenu.conf. If it does not find any partitions, the menu will be empty

Sorry to double-post, but I just found this thread and realized that my question best belongs here:

-------
@penguinbait;

I installed Diablo today, spent a few hours getting all my apps and customizations installed (Gnumeric was the only one that I could not get working). Then it was time to put the bootmenu back, so I could boot between diablo on flash and chinook on SD.

I went to your site and downloaded bootmenu-installer 1.0.0-2. But, it fails to run, here is some of the log:

apt-worker: Ignoring version from wrong domain: libpopt0 1.7-6
apt-worker: /var/lib/apt/lists/repostory.maemo.org_dists_chinook_free_binary
It looks like this is the chinook version. I looked again on your site, but can't find the diablo version.

Thanks,

Steve

penguinbait, you should fix where you say where the sound file is. It is in /root/.linus
And for people who care, the line responsible for playing the sound is line 21 of /etc/init.d/local.sh
Thanks for this penguinbait! :)

How come when I go to the boot-menu-installer page, it just shows a lot of funny characters and nothing happens?

Hold stylus down on link until menu pops up. Then click "save target as"

Then once its saved, open application manager and install from file.


NOTE, this only installs bootmenu, it does not clone anything, It will search for available partitions and write out a new bootmenu.
