I don't quite remember. It may have been something trivial, like gfuser not being present on my phone so what's the point checking. Why it was implemented that way to start with I have no idea. It worked for me in the simplified form. I am sure someone more knowledgeable can answer it better as this was the first time I found out about fuser :-)


I do not recommend mounting /home/user *at all* in any form for ED. If you investigate latest (Squeeze and later) images, they contain onchrootmount (or smth like that) script, that gets executed from within ED, and umount /dev/mmcblk0p2 (for ED only).
Ah, thanks, good to know. I ended up having to do a bit more due to the fact that I started from the minimal (50MB) image and built up. That image turned out to be quite out of date so I might have done better starting from your Squeeze image and remove things.

I have since moved on to a bigger challenge, trying to install and run Debian packages directly without chrooting. I have not had much success yet as per a couple of posts above but now I have a spare device to thrash so I am not giving up yet.
