Sorry for mesing things up in such a dumb way. Any suggestions on how to get restarted without a re-flash? I deleted the file on my MMC2, but that didn't work

I've seen that endless loop behaviour before when the tablet didn't have an Internet connection... are you online?

You could download the file manually using this link and drop it onto your mmc2, then tell the installer that you want to install there... It will go right into the extraction phase...

What's the xterm saying in its endless loop? You should be able to read it if you open a terminal window and type the following:

Code:

/home/user/img-install/installer.sh

When the endless loops starts, hit CTRL-C and then post what it's saying...
