Thanks PB. I was not aware that the use of a linux swap file was independent from the use of Virtual Memory in Maemo. So I should disabled virtual memory if I want to use a swap partition in the way you describe?

That is correct!

Just a question; Have you looked into gxmessage, the tiny little dialog app compiled by Bundyo a while ago? I've used it in Easy Debian a few places. It is less than 40kb, with no (extra) dependencies. The main down-side of gxmessage is that it is very limited in what it can display. Basically, you have a text box and some buttons along the bottom. If you can do what you need to do with that (and I actually think you can in many places, but there are some important places that you might not be able to), then you're good :D

Well this will be a menu driven in console, and it works well, and even works well through ssh which is great. The partitioning tool works also from the console, and is just as functional as gparted. I even used it to recover a partition I accidentally removed "rescue" I am adding the ability to do incremental backups which is working well, it makes about a 1.9MB tar if there have been no changes.. I almost have everything rewritten, I am almost done with the backups, after that I have to rewrite the restore to handle the incremental backups and rewrite the bootmenu to use new tools. I may add additional gui menus again but for now this is working very nice small and clean.


Its been very quiet in here, I am still listening for any input you may have.

One of the problems I had when I tried your tools was that you offer compression, but then you only offer the relatively "fat" gzip compression; so I just fell back to my own little backup command which uses the "slimmer" bzip2. If you're going to take the big hit for compressing, you might as well compress it as well as you can.

But I like the graphical tools, I agree that it is bizarre that there is no small package that can make GUI widgets from the command line...

I will not be updating install-tools, bootmenu-installer or mgmt-tools any longer. install-tools will not be updated to support 43-7. mgmt-tools in theory should work if you update initfs flasher from the menu. I have not tested it. I am only supporting console-tools from here on out.
