1) set up a boot menu, http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/#initfs
2) Gather the two programs, wget and e2fsprogs, which you already did.
3) Partition the card using sfdisk; if not sure, post it and I will help you.
4) Format only the mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk0p1
5) follow this thread #1 step by step,

Hope you got boot menu done. You can test it by boot up your N800, there should be a menu, and choose 1st item, boot from int flash, as you have not clone the OS yet.

step 2) you already finished, good job.

Now we are onto step 3), partition the card
you should turn off your virtual mem, control panel>memory>Virtual mem and uncheck.
a) xterm
b) sudo gainroot
c) umount /media/mmc2
d) sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk0

16GB Card (~15.5GB real size - partition 1: 14.5GB, partition 2: ~1GB):

/dev/mmcblk0p1: 0,14500,0C
/dev/mmcblk0p2: ,,,
/dev/mmcblk0p3:
/dev/mmcblk0p4:

The above are my recommendation, feel free to change it to suit your taste. This gives you 14.5G storage and 1 G Os, that should be plenty; the OS is about 320 mb, so you left with 680 MB to install programs.


take a break,
