Now that Diablo was unleashed we could probably use an updated system-cloner.deb... :o

It's been great running Chinook off SD card but now we should probably start planning backing up our apps and settings in preparation for the next round.

Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 
With the release of Diablo I decided to give this a try (since I didn't want to have to reflash if things went pear-shaped).

Installed on a 2gb sd and everything worked great. Except: it seems to have left just 120.9 mb free on card. (Details for Card say "Total Size: 120.9 MB / In use: 1 kb / Available: 120.9".)

I was under the impression that when using a 2gb card, one could clone OS AND install KDE. But for reading your KDE thread, 120.9 is too little space to do this.

Am I just confused?

Thanks!

EDIT: It must have to do with the files I have stored on the flash, huh? If that's the answer, then ignore me, as I deserved to be ignored!

EDIT2: OK, just realized I'll need to uninstall items from card in order to free up space. Perhaps my stupidity will help out another perpetual newbie. ;)

Sorry, but I'm coming back for more!

I did a fresh flash of chinook, then cloned it to SD using PB's .deb. And even using a fresh flash, there appears to be only 120.9 MB free on SD. So how can I also use KDE .deb in conjunction with clone .deb, when I "should" have "about 340MB free" after installing KDE?

Do I really have to go through the application list and uninstall everything I can until I have enough room on SD card??

Sorry, as I state in my initial post, all my good work was stolen from Fanoush. Once Fanoush updates bootmenu, I will update this deb.

It allows you to specify FAT and SWAP size (EXT2 or 3) Up to 2 partitions per SD card

I am not getting any boot menu. When I look at the log file, I saw this line
/root/install-tools/initfs_flash: line 175: syntax error: "}" unexpected "fi" }
FLASH COPIED SUCCESSFULLY?

Hi,
I have a N810 and I upgraded it to Diablo.
Then I downloaded the last version of the install tools for n810.
The installation successfully complete with no error, but when I reboot my N810 the boot menu doesn't appear and the tablet boot from internal flash. Why? :confused:
Thanks for the answer ;)
