On the Syncing Apple's blog site, I noticed that Tommy Cheng's response to the posting of swap space gave me a somewhat killer idea.
Since I don't have SSH on my 770 (yet), I figured that I would create a simple text file to cut/paste into xterm. This is also useful if you don't have the bluetooth keyboard either.
So, here's the steps that I took to do this:
1) Obviously, your 770 has to have been modded to allow sudo gainroot. If you haven't done so, do it and continue to step 2.
2) Ensure you have xterm loaded.
3) Re-fdisk your mmc card to allow for two partitions. My second partition is only 24mb.
4) Start a web browser in your 770
5) Browse to:
http://24.248.84.138/sgyee/770swap.txt
6) Select all, and copy the file contents
7) Open Xterm, sudo gainroot, and ensure you have a directory of init.d in /var/lib/install/etc . If not, make one.
8) Paste the file contents into xterm, not via the virtual keyboard applet, but from within xterm. Hit enter once.
9) Reboot. You now have it done, and you don't have to SSH or do any stupid typing to ensure that it works.
Enjoy!
