hi everybody
memory of my n810 totally fulled so i decided to clone os to mmc for installing apps. on mmc.
i've got a 1 gig mem. card.
they say i have to create two partitions on sd card.
what should i change in the command below?
i want two partitions and each one is 512mb. but how?

....
/dev/mmcblk0p1:1,16384,6
/dev/mmcblk0p2:16385,,83
...

1G card is not enough.
If you had 512M each then your linux partition is as small as the internal flash (256M but compressed!)
You should have at least 4G and used : sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk0
-uM allows you to enter in MB so you can enter something like (for a 4G card for example):
/dev/mmcblk0p1:0, 2500,6
/dev/mmcblk0p2:2500,,83

note that I had 0 for starting and I use the same number 2500 for ending and starting. Machines count from 0 not 1. 2500MB is used for VFAT and the rest for linux.

Most people would have :1,2500,6 and then 25001,,83. And that shouldn't be.

You can clone it to internal memory mmc2 (1G each partition) or you can use the mmc1 (300M for VFAT and ~700M for linux). I'd recommend to use the mmc2.

back up app repositories to your mmc1
delete some apps
then you should have some space for e2fsprogs
restore the app repositories after clone on the mmc2

Consider using Penguinbait's Console Tools, PB (and PBeasy).
they simplify all the steps.
