It wasn't 404, it was 403 forbidden, because I used scp to upload it and that seems to set the wrong permissions... fixed now...

My microSD card is really slow, so I've installed easy-debian on a new partition of the internal drive.
Here are my instructions :
my sf file for a new ext3 partition of 3.6G:

Here are my instructions :
Code:
sudo gainroot # on the device with rootsh, but you can use openssh too cd /home/user mkdir /media/mmc1/MyDocs_backup # assuming you have a mounted memory card here cp -R MyDocs /media/mmc1/MyDocs_backup umount MyDocs sfdisk -d > sf vi sf # resize first partition, then add a new one for /dev/mmcblk0p4, see an example file at the bottom of this post sfdisk --force /dev/mmcblk0 < sf rm ./sf reboot sudo gainroot cd /home/user umount MyDocs mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/mmcblk0p1 mount MyDocs cp -R /media/mmc1/MyDocs_backup/* MyDocs/ rm -R /media/mmc1/MyDocs_backup mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p4 mount /dev/mmcblk0p4 /debian cd MyDocs wget http://qole.org/files/debian-squeeze-m5-rootfs.tar.gz cd /debian tar xzf /home/user/MyDocs/debian-squeeze-m5-rootfs.tar.gz rm /home/user/MyDocs/debian-squeeze-m5-rootfs.tar.gz umount /debian
Code:
# partition table of /dev/mmcblk0 unit: sectors /dev/mmcblk0p1 : start= 64, size= 48952512, Id= c /dev/mmcblk0p2 : start= 56631360, size= 4194304, Id=83 /dev/mmcblk0p3 : start= 60825664, size= 1572864, Id=82 /dev/mmcblk0p4 : start= 48952576, size= 7678784, Id=83

I'm downloading EasyDebian on Freemantle and get the message that the file downloaded is corrupted during the installation process.
The file in question is:
debian-squeeze-m5-img.bz2
and it downloads it but doesn't seem to be able to extract/mount the image due to it being corrupted.
The download location doesn't make a difference (microSD or internal) and I've tried downloading from my Mac and copying over via mass storage mode and it still says the file is damaged.
Any ideas?
Many thanks

Doc_Raj: If you don't use the included installer, then you have to download the file, then extract the image file using bzip2, then rename the extracted file (debian-squeeze-m5-img) to debian-squeeze-m5.img.ext2.
The installer checks the md5sum of the file to make sure it downloads correctly. You should probably use it.

In the spirit of "release early, release often" I have uploaded my current rootfs, with a working LXDE install. Download debian-m5-v2-rootfs.tgz and untar it (tar xzvf) into a partition or a 2GB image file (that you make using the instructions in this post).
To start LXDE, use the command "debbie xephwm5" and if LXDE loses keyboard, use "debbie xephfocus" to get the keyboard back again.
If you want the Fremantle-like theme with wide scrollbars, choose "MurrinaNightOrange" from the list of themes.
The new package with everything set up for you is coming soon, but I thought some eager testers might want to start now...

Image file now on the server:
debian-m5-v2.img.ext2.bz2
It is 2GB now, since the N900 has a lot more space, but people have said that larger files have problems on some file systems...

New package in Fremantle Extras Devel, and changes pushed to the garage git repo.
I removed Maemo icons for OpenOffice and Gimp since they are unusable in Maemo, and added an icon for fixing the keyboard in LXDE if it stops working.

That's really nice Qole - thanks as always.
For everybody testing, don't forget to push the cpu to the performance governor, as described here and elsewhere - might reduce your stress, too
