In my case, 256 meg of root partition takes about an hour to fill with only a part of my usual program installs. 2gig internal is far from an acceptable amount of storage; I'd get a 1.5 gig root partition and a .5 gig fat32 out of it but still not enough room. The ending kicker for me is that I want to wear out removable mmc media rather than blowing through the limited read/write cycles in my non-removable storage.

If you managed to get it working, could you point me towards the HowTo or let me know what the few alterations to the N800 process where?

(I love what I am going to be able to do with the hardware but I gotta get it built right first since Nokia decided to cripple it with limited storage)

Step by step, boot from N810/ext SD, just for Neon Samurai, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...+clone&page=30. Just one minor problem, yes, there are 347 posts! Dont like it? Just kidding, go straight to thread #292 for N810 and #347 to N800.

Post back with your results,
