So after a long hard journey filled with errors and after finalt getting used to the terminal, i have been able to get to the boot menu, which sees my new 2gb mmc card in my n770, which i partitioned to have about a gig of memory to work with, and the rest as a nice swap.

now, what do i need to do to put any other OS on it? i dont care which one, be it debian, nitdroid, or whatever. I just want something simple.

Im hoping its a simple transfering of the files from my pc to the card, but i have a sinking feeling it wont be that easy....

Any help appreciated
