Qole asked me to see if I could hack a version of gparted for maemo, as it was working under Debian chroot.

This only works in flash, if you fire it up in a boot from SD partition the tablet will reboot while trying to scan /dev/mmcblk0 and /dev/mmcblk1. I assume this is because of the initfs issue with bootmenu.


The approach I took was using several debs from Debian and some compiled apps from me.

I ran into several problems, but was able to overcome all of them so far.

The install is 20MB (6MB download, 20MB on Disk, 10MB on flash)

This will also give you sudo access

Ignore the memory card corrupted errors

I think this is working well, let me know if you have any problems 11/16/08
