After following the instructions on the maemo.com wiki to partition and format the 8gb internal SD card - making sure the FAT partition was first on the card - I followed the excellent instructions at the start of this thread. I had upgraded my N800 to OS2008, so cloned that 2008 to the card, and all booted properly. (I also installed KDE on that SD card) I decided I didn't like OS2008 so back to 2007. Reinstalled initfs as per Fanoush's instructions so I could dual boot again and behold! 2007 on flash and 2008 on the SD card. I can now test ethernet networking but still have my preferred OS as the every day environment. Happy happy! The chances of a flasher to update the SD card are probably slim, but that would make my day complete. Zebee
