Can you walk me through the next couple of steps?
I downloaded the Fanoush tar to my user file and opened using Squishee.
How can I check to see that the file is in the right place?
Also now I do the memory partition. I want to put about 12gb to os and the rest for storage. How do I do that properly. Any pitfalls.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm going to take about a 45 minute break and finish this tonight.
It's been fun and hard.
Thanks for your help and support, same to Milhouse. lol, Dan

I follow straightly from Fanoush's instruction and I have no idea about Sqhishee. Here are my steps, (more details here, http://examplified.net/guide/Nokia_7...ting_from_MMC/)

Commands are explained on Schmots "dual boot" section, the 2nd topic, http://schmots.blogspot.com/:
1) dl Fanoush bootmenu.tar to documents folder
2) xterm
3) sudo gainroot
4) cd ~/MyDocs/.documents/
5) tar zxvf initfas_flasher.tgz
6) cd initfs_flasher
7) ./initfs-flash
This will ask you several questions, here is what I recommend (type what's in bold):

backup? no
remove extra stuff? yes
found, do you want to add it to initfs? yes
ready for flashing this image? yes
Press enter to reboot device

Now you have boot menu. I am goin to get a cup of coffee, will you buy me one? Now post to see where you are....
