- Clone my internal ext2 partition to a spare clean external card. Repartition the internal card to practically all ext2, format, and then clone the partition back from the spare external card. Can I do the cloning by simply updating the assignments in the nupgrade.sh? from
Code:
	INTERNAL=/dev/mmcblk0
	EXTERNAL=/dev/mmcblk1
to
Code:
	INTERNAL=/dev/mmcblk1
	EXTERNAL=/dev/mmcblk0
and back again? I expect I probably need to do more changes to nupgrade.sh...

- Also, I notice there's no information on how to remove KDE if you installed it the old fashioned way, i.e. untarring the KDE and SUP files. If I simply rm'd every file installed by the untar process, would that be safe if not efficient?

Thank you,

I am not sure what your trying to do exactly. You could use partition magic or gpartd/qtparted to resize your partitions.

If you want to move it to the external card, just make a new filesystem on the new card, mount it and copy the data from one card to the next.

If you are still running the original KDE358.tar.bz2, there is a v2 out, maybe you should just upgrade to the newer version and set your partitions how you would like them..
