and although cfdisk is not in the same place it does not work. As I have stated before I am new to Linux and am learning slowly. I have searched here and the web but cannot find a useable solution so far. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Hi Arch. I've just done it, this very last weekend. I've got a Linux PC, but haven't got a card reader. Besides, I liked the idea of doing everything from the 770 device, without using PC.

Yes, I wrote this link:

But it only explains how to do the partition. It doesn't go on with the rootfs mounting on the mmc card. If you wait till tomorrow, I'll update the WIKI so that everyone can extend their rootfs to the mmc (as I've already done on my 770) without PC and without complicated tricks.

Everything is based on excellent Fanoush's binaries and procedure. Wait just one day more and you'll be able to safely complete the whole process. I haven't just had time enough to update the Wiki. Besides, I was waiting a couple of days to be sure everything worked fine. And it does.

Thanks to Fanoush.
