I finally got it.

Now... The mmc2 still shows corrupt even though it runs the OS and stores KDE on partition 2... I suspect the format failed on partition 1 using the automatic nupgrade script.

I agree with you that you lots of space on that partition to run the kde.

More to follow in other threads about details of kde.

Thanks Bun!

I am glad you did finally choose ./nupgrade.sh. I hope you realize that from now on, you can keep making OS clone by just one line command, no more BS like dl wget, or scripts or what not. I like this part alot. And so, if you disklike the partition or run out of space, just issue the same one line command and go get a cup of coffee, and when returns, it is CLONED. when I first tried it, I just explode in thankfulness to Milhouse's script. Pronuke's instructions, no offense, it was the dark day we were doing, a line by line, typos after typos and worst of all, even you did it once, upon repeat you still have to go thru the exact process. Some people like it if they want to see the commands execution. Not me.

Re: 4gb Partition

The easiest way to load KDE on your N800 and booting from your SD card I think is:

1. Have a big partition for the 2008OS, over 2.2 GB for example, and then clone your OS into it. Of course, we should use sfdisk with-uM for partitioning.

From http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HowT...your_MMC_card/

sfdisk /dev/mmcblk0
/dev/mmcblk0p1:1,15000,6
/dev/mmcblk0p2:15001,,
/dev/mmcblk0p3:
/dev/mmcblk0p4:
This is I think not correct!
It should be:
/dev/mmcblk0p1:0,15000,6
/dev/mmcblk0p2:15000,,

So let's say if we have a 4G SD and we use -uM option then:

sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk0
/dev/mmcblk0p1:0, 1800,6
/dev/mmcblk0p2:1800,,
/dev/mmcblk0p3:
/dev/mmcblk0p4:

Clone the OS into it !!!!

2. Have USB hostmode enabling script, so we can have another SD card holding KDE358v2.tar.bz2 and SUPv2.tar which we have downloaded into it the PC then copied from the PC to the SD.

http://www.tablethacker.com/software/SUPv2.tgz

3. bzip2, tar, ... ready

4. run

cd /
$path1/tar jxvf $path2/KDE358v2.tar.bz2
$path1/tar zxvf $path2/SUPv2.tgz
(note $path1 could be /home/user/bin and $path2 could be /media/usb/sda1)
