Hi, i'm new, and i need some help.
I want to move the whole OS to one of the flash cards (internal or external, i still haven't decided yet) for many space for the applications, and i already read the board and found this tutorial (http://wiki.maemo.org/Booting_from_a_flash_card), but i still have some doubts about it, which i'm reporting.
1) Why do i have to create 2 partitions on the internal card? In the tutorial it creates one of about 480 mb and another of about 1.5 gb (speaking of the internal flash...) Why can't i have just one big 2GB partition?

2) By following exactly every step of the tutorial shown, i will be CLONING my actual system to the internal memory? That's what i wanna do: clone my actual system (with the applications, datas, and documents) on the internal memory. Or do i have to make a backup, migrate the system and then use the backup to ripristinate it?

3) If i use the procedure shown in the tutorial above, will i be seeing the boot loader or there is a way to tell him that i want to load the internal memory OS instead of the flash one?

Thanks to everyone in advance,

Best Regards.
