Great tutorial, an essential for the newbies. I got my 770 a week ago, and, following your tutorial, I am now booting from flash, in one trial. Thanks Jeffus.

Some minor suggestions to make life even more easy for the newbies, i.e. me

re 7.Booting from MMC
2. Go XTerm then type sudo gainroot
pay attention to letter l vs numeral 1, and letter o vs numeral zero
you need to know how to input special characters, underscore ("&!e" + Common), vertical stroke ("&!e" + Symbols) or you can handwritten after pressing Abc1 (this is for special symbols).

8. There is a question before backup? no, I forget what it is

12. Now.......At least 15+ minutes:.....; mine is 8.5 minutes and I missed reading the last statement when I return after 15 min. At the end of the copying, it exits XTerm; so one has to go XTerm/gainroot again in order to unmount.

Finally, I think this is going to be a very good beginners guide and would be also educational for the newbie, if you could put comments next to the command, that would make the exercise much more a learning guide to linux,

mkdir create dir
cd change dir etc



thanks again

I still failed to use my Treo650 as modem for my 770. I was able to pair with the Treo650, but failed to make the call "Connection to phone failed. Try again?". I also dl pdanet and installed in a laptop with USB, and still failed to use my Treo650 as modem. Any suggestion?

TIA
