when i do (chmod +x nupgrade.sh tar) it says no such file directory.
after typing becomeroot and i type (./nupgrade.sh wipe) it says ./nupgrade.sh: not found.
please can someone help i do not have a clue what i should do.
i am still currently in x terminal and it says/bin #. where should i go from here?
(i am doing this on the internal memory card on my N810)
- cannot create dir, as it has been done. so leave it alone, that is fine
- cd ~/bin, cant cd to /home/user/bin, STOP. This is the problem. you do not have the bin setup. Back track from here.

I have NO clue what system you are doing. Are u doing 770? N8x0? what capacity card you are using? clone to ext2 or ext3? mmc1 or mmc2?

Before anything, please, please, go get DiskUsage and gpe-file manager or emelfm2 first, you can then know what dir you have, what partition you have and what need to be create, and where do you back track to

Edit: Now I see, you are doing N810 on internal card, /media/mmc2, 2G nonmovable... OK, get those utility tools and take a look at your system, and see what goes wrong. That will be a first step. BTW, this is a fun exercise, dont get toooo frustrate, you will get it, by then your reward is more than getting it clone, you started to get comfortable with this beast called Debian and you know what, you can then turn around and 'help/guide' another community member....aint that beautiful! Cheers,


Post back if questions,

GeraldKo: I think it is a good idea to recommend those tools as step 0. Thanks,
