Remount initfs rw
Move the old modules to a backup directory
Check initfs free space
Copy new modules, checking the free space with each, just to be sure.
If there is not enough free space, restore old modules and print error message.

If we are going to modify initfs, don't forget this fix https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3852

Adding osso-xterm to the wish-list:
I just remembered I have a improved version of osso-xterm. After searching where I found it, I finally arrived to this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=23291
The version available in that thread has the transparent vkb hack, but the menu options to enable/disable it aren't checkmenu, so it doesn't shows the current state and I find it too confusing.
I have managed to keep the previous deb package, if the newer is too experimental we could add this one to the SSU. It adds all options but the vkb hack.

Just pushed another update that includes a patched kernel & xserver. Both my tablets survived it, but you have been warned.

I'm now setting those automatically from the package version so it won't happen again.

That's bug 2491, which seems unrelated to USB.
Thanks also for instructions on use of Wiki. Sorry again if that was something I was already supposed to know.

got the next update. so painless. and i actually read the changelog this time. thanks guys.
I have noticed, and it might just be a placebo, but everything seems...snappier...should it be? I have noticed Rotate is certainly faster, but that may be from the rotate kernal Lma linked me to.
So what are the chance of the os, or maybe just the browser, will be upgrade with the graphics acceleration?
Once again, thanks for all the work and let me know if there is anything specific i should test and report on.

kernel-diablo: * Fixes: BMO#2249: FM Radio frequency not set for use in Japan. * Fixes: BMO#2491: cant run camera applications with v4l2. * Fixes: BMO#3123: Patch to kernel to allow DSP framebuffer sharing on N8x0 devices * Fixes: BMO#3519: Integrate screen rotation patches into stock kernel. * Changed debian/rules to do a parallel make because Diablo's dpkg-buildpackage is too old to support -j and I'm lazy. xserver-xomap: * Fixes: BMO#3519: Integrate screen rotation patches into stock kernel and X server.The easiest option seems to be to just remount initfs rw temporarily and copy the new modules over the old ones.
