for 2 you need to do only the rsync in the mail you quoted and custom initfs with menu (previous mail in the list), nothing you mentioned above.


aaah! I knew they were two different things, but I had assumed #2 was a different route after having repartitioned and formatted the mmc properly.

I'm wondering which steps I need to remove (ie, changing back the minireboot and minirC), and what would break if I changed your steps to use ext2 rather than jffs. Or should I really just get over it and use jffs?
