(on both kernel installation from repos, and flashing locally), over plain cp or untar./Estel

@Estel,
Yup, but perhaps something like:
# cat bzImage > /dev/mtd3
might work to easily flash a new kernel.
However I get "Error: Insufficient balls"

You can try to use dd: dd if=bzImage of=/dev/mtd3
But it is better to use flasher.
There is a N900's version so you can flash from phone itself (using flasher + softupd) which the same method used by multiboot.

@Fabry,
Have *YOU* tried to flash the kernel with dd?
If yes, did it work?

I had a quick skim through this thread, but I couldn't see anything related to my issue, I have the stable flavour of CSSU installed:
I can't seem to install any of the dependencies (debs posted in this thread) that backupmenu-multiboot requires, I upgraded multiboot to 0.2.11 fine, but i cant install i2c-tools or mtd-utils, it says "incompatible package"
I have tried installing i2c-tools from the repo itself, but still no joy. Anyone else had this issue?

The kernel is stored in one of the MTD partitions. The rootfs is another one of the MTD partitions.
Don't know if you can simply read/write to any of those partitions (except the rootfs which has a file system).
