Alot of us have multiboot installed and nitdroid and so can't use the important program Backupmenu

so i made some changes to it and make it multiboot compatible only

note that u can't use it with boot menu


and also updated multiboot to be compatible with the new package


now , we only need to install two packages and then we have multiboot and backupmenu installed

1 - multiboot 0.2.11 which add support to backupmenu-multiboot

2 - backupmenu-multiboot 1.0 which depends on multiboot

both packages in attachments



download them and move them to ur mobile

then u can instal them by openinig file manager and click on them

or from the terminal



remember that u need to install multiboot 0.2.11 first then backupmenu-multiboot


cheers

The only limit which that guide not tells you is that on N900 you can create only max 3 logical partitions.

You can create 4 (or more) logical partitions as shown on that guide, but unfortunately the fourth logical partition is not seen by mmc driver and you must use a dm driver for all partitions with theirs number beyond 7

But there is something I wanna ask you. I had tried NITDroid 0.0.9 before but I screwed it up installing a wrong program. Now I want to install it again & I know that once I install it I will get another option in multiboot for NITDroid 0.0.9

Is it possible to partition my EMMC & install your custom gingerbread image to that partition? So in multiboot i will get 5 options like

1 - for stock maemo kernel
2 - for kernel power 46
3 - for backupmenu
4 - NITDroid 0.0.9
5 - Gingerbread by mido.fayad
