btw I recently encountered a problem with installing apps from Market, I have my ext 3 partition at 800mb, it just wouldn't like it no matter what I did (Ie, clearing up the sd card etc.), when I changed the partition to 1ghz + that's when I was able to install.

so I assume, installing from Market will only accept a partitioned ext3 1gb and above but not greater than 2gb

Hope this makes sense and helpful for Noobs like me.
