But it appears that I should get about 3.5GB? Should I instead be using the manual config you refer to at http://tablethacker.com/wp/?p=151&lang=en-us#more-151 to get the right size?

Thanks.
My suggestion is if you have 25 MB free on flash, use new mgmt-tools gui with gparted.

Penguinbait,

The install went well and I can boot from internal SD. But something strange is going on. The n800, whether booted from flash or SD, complains that both SD cards are corrupt (they are not), even after reformatting the external one. I am stumped.

Edit: My n800 can no longer read any SD card while booted from flash or SD card. Any suggestions other than re-flash?

I just followed post #1 to clone OS with diablo to internal sd. Then I entered the command chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:mmc2 to set default boot to mmc2. It returns "chroot not found". I try sudo gainroot, cd .. to the top, same result. The instruction states I need to become root.
Since I am not good in linux, I think I left out same thing.

Look at mgmt-tools, its exactly what you want. Kind of large and it will be the only version of mgmt-tools, I am working on a complete rewrite called console-tools. but thats not important. What is important is you can is mgmt-tools to clone to another partition, including USB Disks. And even better you can backup and restore to tar or very slowly to tgz files. From any partition to any partition on any SD or USB disk.

gparted-hack is required for mgmt-tools. http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=25140

Thank. But result is the same. chroot not found.

I believe I need to install soemthing to have chroot command.
I notice that many of the linux commands are not available.

found chroot command. need to type \usr\sbin\chroot
but get permission denied.
type sudo \user\sbin\chroot
ask for password which I never set up.
What to do?

NCC1701-k: You need to gain root.

This also solves the problem of needing the full path.

If he installed the deb he does not need gain root.

sudo su -
should make him root.

type the following (whoami) does it say root? if not your not root
whoami



NOT \usr\bin\chroot
ITS /usr/bin/chroot
