That seems to have done the trick, the 1.3GB is now allocated to Linux on partition 2.

Let's try this again. Having a PITA trying to deal with tar
Downloading tar worked for me fine, and I just set it to be executable but when I was in stage 3, I think tar would hang the N800, so I just force unmounted the memory card (not good) and restarted and tried 3 again. This time at stage 3, it cloned fine except I got a message at the end saying, tar:implausibly old time stamp. I ignored it and went to step 4 which worked fine. And I could boot of memory card.
