mount /dev/mmcblkxxx /floppy

4) I copied the content of /debian to the partition
And here is where my problems started. The commands provided in the previous post are:

Code:

cd /debian
/home/user/img-install/ tar cf - . | (cd /opt/; tar xvf -)

Unfortunately I got errors (not able to access) the directory /home/user/img-install/

I thus run only the command

Code:

tar cf - . | (cd /opt/; tar xvf -)

However I have some questions:
Is it using /home/user/img-install/ because it is the directory where the image was installed?
Are there (in /home/user/img-install/) files needed in the partition?

5) restart device: I did so and the device was almost bricked. I had to remove the sd card before being able to restart the N900.

I reinserted the sd and

6) Edit the /home/user/.chroot
changing the IMGFILE to the partition where the files are

And easy debian started with 2 more gb free!
