Is there any way to "ghost" my install onto the new card without having to redo the whole "boot off mmc" process all over again and having to reinstall all of my many apps all over again?
Yes, you have two slots in N800 so you can clone existing system from one to another. I guess there is no ready made script but you can follow any guide for doing it manually, just swap first 'mount -o jffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /whatever' for 'mount -o ext2 /dev/mmcblkXp2 /whatever' (X is 0 for internal card, 1 for external card), otherwise the procedure it is the same.
