You -must- use a insecure router for now for testing. Use MAC address filtering or something. WPA support will come later.

I had corruption issues debootstrapping on the tablet, so I did it with my Ubuntu Laptop. Nice shortcut if it works out, took just a few minutes.

Does it matter what initfs is flashed? I just reflashed with os2008_HE (chinook) since I lost ability to boot somehow (likely unrelated).

I get a segmentation fault whenever I try to run
Code:
chroot /mnt/deblet mount /proc /proc -t proc
or
Code:
chroot /mnt/deblet mount -t devpts none /dev/pts
(based on wiki instructions)

Any ideas?

We tried on OS2006 originally, and is swap enabled still? (swapon). The whole HE thing may mess up things

Also, did you make sure to use --foreign and stuff for the debootstrap? and debootstrap --second-stage on the chroot?

What kind of corruption did you experience?

it seems that my debootstrap wasn't complete (apt-get wasn't there), guessing that's why mount chokes. Will keep trying. Corrupt ext3 fs happened the first time,

2008 is way too unstable for this. I'm using mistral (2006) now. I've had every kind of corruption

I'm still making progress, will post an improved version of your forum post instructions on the wiki as an alt method (works much better for me)

I'll have to buy a 2 gb card and try this out. Just to make sure, can I still use os2006 in 770, so debian is on mmc and double booting still exists?

Yes, it's dual booting through bootmenu.

If I try Deblet on a new MMC can I still boot to my HE2007, in my present mmc (change cards of course), using the same boot menu, or do I have to flash 770 again? E.g MMPC does not work on OS2006, so I still neeed HE2007. 770 is my only IT, so I have to keep it functional untill the next (hopefully 3G) version launch
