I do believe your post is where I got the information from, just figured I'd repeat it to make it more likely to be seen.

I'm amazed that this tiny little thing can actually run KDE! I had to leave it at work because I was tired of looking at it today when I left, it was booting into the K desktop.

I was really nervous that I'd screw something up when reflashing the bootloader but everything came out great and I only had a couple minor "do-overs" to deal with. This forum is a huge help, especially since my Linux knowledge is the bare minimum! It amazes me that such a tiny device can do so much!

However, to give credit to Fanoush, he pointed out that this might be necessary in his Partitioning wiki (cited in his Root/MMC wiki). This was apparently before he himself had a N800 and he wasn't certain if this would be required (as it was). I expect it might be useful for someone now to correct both wiki's, to save those who come after us the trouble of sorting it out afresh.
