Is there something I'm supposed to do when Zenity pops up after a restore?
NEVERMIND, I figured it out. (I know, it wasn't rocket science...)

Twice now, when working with management tools while booting from sd, the resulting updated bootmenu is populated with nearly a dozen options, most with "N/A" at the end. It's only when I boot into flash and update bootmenu from there, that I get a bootmenu reflecting the choice I have made during the bootmenu-updating process.

But if you update via mgmt-tools (while booted to SD) it results in lots of items that are incorrect?
Sorry just trying to nail down exactly what I am reading?
I tested both and it workds fine from flash or SD????

Yes, that's right.
Also, after a day of playing with mgmt-tools, I decided to restore my bootmenu to boot from an SD that (I thought!) had not been changed today. I did use it as the source of a clone, but that shouldn't have changed the amount of space available in "device" when booted to that sd. However, when now booted to that SD, I am told that Device has just 1kb available.
I am using acronis now to restore that SD's partitions, files, etc. to what they were this morning. But any idea what could have happened?

#1 "I decided to restore my bootmenu to boot from an SD that (I thought!) had not been changed today."
Not sure what this means? What do you mean restore your bootmenu? Also note that bootmenu is not stored on SD or flash, it is on initfs which is totally separate. So NO backup or restore using my tools will alter bootmenu
#2 "I did use it as the source of a clone, but that shouldn't have changed the amount of space available in "device" when booted to that sd. However, when now booted to that SD, I am told that Device has just 1kb available."
How big is the filesystem on SD?? Thats correct that using it as a source will not alter the Filesystem. If you backup to it though, you might use up all the space. look in /backup does it exist? is there anything in it?
we should get together on IRC or gtalk or aim or msn or yahoo or whatever you got??

While trying to partition SD card with gparted, I got these messages:
Does this gparted open a window? Where does one put the information about de types and sizes?
Sorry if this is obvious...

Also note that gparted is a hack, it was stolen from debian. It should be run from the menu
While booting from flash it will look for mmcblk0 mmcblk1 sda sdb
While booting from SD it will only scan for sda/sdb if usb devices are available. While booted to SD you cannot use gparted on mmcblk0/mmcblk1, if you attempt it will reboot.
