Yup.. pretty sure i got the idea that .ext2 was a disk image. Similar to an iso.
And that .bz2 are like a .zip or .rar file.

What I dont know how to do is extract files from the bz2 and create a ext2 image out of them. Only amount of linux i have used is the tiniest amount of ubuntu and the n900. heh.

did a quick search on how i might be able to do this and I was sent to this site: http://www.fs-driver.org/

That driver is so buggy, I would just use a live usb key or something and do it in linux.

theres a post in the forums explaining how, but its something along the lines of making a 2 gigabyte image

Code:
 dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/file/file2G.img bs=1M count=2048
then format.

Code:
mkfs.ext2 file2G.img
then mount somewhere and change to directory
Code:
mount /path/file2G.img /media/image
cd /media/image
nows the part youve had real trouble with
extract.
Code:
tar xjvf nameoffile.bz2
This all can be done on the n900 its self, But I warn you disk IO is slooowww, but possible. Personally i would do it all on a linux desktop.

Cool thanks for all the info! Even after all that I am sure it wont be as easy to just replace the other ubuntu image, but at least I learned something!

Will certainly give it a try.

Thanks!

Yeah you could mount an existing img and just format it.

Sure, lets just make a review post every page for people too lazy to skim a forum.

But you could make it work. At least if you run it in R&D mode. The Ubuntu 10.10-omap3 works too but you need to change some files in the image. Just mount the image and add the files.

I don't know how long that project has come. Or what's currently working or not. I tried it out earlier but do not have a sd-card to do so now.
