See http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/#initfs for details explaining how to install the modified initfs and boot menu.


I have downloaded the initfs to my device, but I have no idea on how to extract it or what to do from here. Hopefully someone can explain better to me.
I'm confused. Seems to me that Fanoush's web cite you quote -- http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/#initfs -- gives a simple instruction on how to untar the file. Once that's done, and the untarred files subsequently repose in their own directory, then read the README file contained therein. Close reading of everything -- especially Fanoush's tightly written instructions -- is always required. Good luck.
