just installed 2gb: work but where's cfdisk mkfs.ext2
 

I'm all ready to set up my new shiny 2gb card. Flashed the new kernel - works.

But, I'd like to entend the root fs. Can't find cfdisk or mkfs.ext2.

Can I use the extendfs scripts? I'm worried it won't work on 2006.

I used gparted with success in partitioning and formatting for fat 32 and ext2.

Did you do this on the 770 itself, or on another Linux PC? If the former, do you have a link to the gparted binary or deb (as I can't find it anywhere!)

GParted is a Gnome Partition Editor. I downloaded it onto my Ubuntu-loaded PC. If your Linux PC doesn't employ a Gnome GUI but instead utilizes a KDE, then the GParted web-site also has one that works with KDE. You can use either a flash card reader built into your PC or an external flash card reader. Though intended principally to partition and format hard drives, GParted also quite easily accomodates the partitioning and formating of flash cards. Check both the web site http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ as well as the wikopedia entry for GParted. The web site contains a brief but thorough and quite comprehensible tutorial under "documentation."

Thanks - I used cfdisk on a Linux (SuSE) PC to partition my MMC but was just wondering if you had managed to find a "native" solution on the 770 itself :)

I didn't find a precompiled fdisk either, but mkfs.ext2 is in e2fsprogs.

where is e2fsprogs for 770?

Ermmm... it's in the same place as when I told you in this reply... :rolleyes:

<embarrassed>

but still no fdisk or cfdisk, right?

I guess I need to find some kind of rs mmc reader.

Or boot up a linux live cd and use a graphical partition editor like qtparted or gparted with the card in the 770 connected to your PC with the usb cable.
