I only download backupmenu deb package from maemo.org/packages to PC. I see two problems why it does not work (if you use usr/share/backupmenu/BackupMenuLauncher.item) 1. usr/share/backupmenu/BackupMenuLauncher.item do not have executable flag 2. usr/share/backupmenu/BackupMenuLauncher.item do not have #!/bin/sh header Note that bootmenu for ITEM_LINUXRC need valid sh skript or binary.
