Well, I have been reading on this forum for a bit (though not too in depth), and finally want to ask a question (since I am getting my N800 Friday). So, I am a total noob (even just started running linux last fall), but was wondering about this whole dual boot from MMC thing. Lets say I only have one 8 gb card in addition the massive 128 mb card that came with it. When 'dual' booting, are you really just choosing to use the firmware, then boot the OS and everything else from the MMC (8gb in this case)? The whole dual boot thing seems to imply some sort of OS2008 or ported-SUSE (example) controlled through grub or something, and maybe you can do this: throw in a different card for different OS. My question is, would you mind sharing how the solution of just updating your firmware then following the steps to set up the boot from MMC worked? And lastly, if you don't boot from MMC, what would you boot from? Again, total noob without N800 in hand, but thanks for the help.
