In looking at the thing with the V keyboard I have also found the I can solve the off the bottom of thepage thing using the vitual desktop in the task bar. Superbly you can grab the window in the 1 (of 4) desktops and slide it about. How cool!

1) Is this "new" way of running ext2 on top of FAT as efficient as just formatting to ext2?
I have not done any performance testing, but you are still running OS from flash, so it will be slower than SD/MMC boot
2) If I don't dual boot won't I loose USB-networking that I gain by using init_flasher?
This will not stop you from using the bootloader if you want, its just not needed. I will be running KDE from mmc boot, this is only for those technically challenged (NO OFFENSE)
3) Will you also be releasing any future SUPs as tarballs or are you going to just make them all .deb files - in other words - if I stay with my existing installation of KDE can I still install updates or will I eventually have to change to the new .deb method of installation if I want any updates? I kinda don't want to reinstall KDE because I've got it set up sooooooo nice and don't want to have to tweak it all over again.
SUP.tgz and kdesup-3.5.8.deb are the same files, just installed differently. There will still be future versions of SUP.tgz and kdesup-3.5.8.deb. TARBALLS WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE, AND ALWAYS BE OUT BEFORE THE DEB. So all your work safe. I will probably need to make SUP.tgz for new and a SUP-upgrade.tgz, because I don't want to step on your settings, although any setting changes I make, you would not then get, only software changes.
Thanks bunches!!
Hope this helps!

Thanks Penguinbait for continuing the vitalizatiion of this devise. That said, dumb questions for you. Why is this worth doing? Better software options? More powerful office oriented software? Obviously I'm not familiar at all with Koffice. Linux product? Also, apparently this install needs at least a 2 gb internal flash card. Will any type of card including SDHC work? I would need to order another card. I currently have a 2 GB SD internal card installed. From reading his thread it sounds like maybe that is large enough. It also sounds like this install maybe can damage a card? I don't know how to use Xterm. Is there hope for me?
Thanks much,
Neil

The instruction in the first post are clear, its a very easy process following them. The number one problem people are having is the debs were not fully downloaded ot the tarball was not.
2GB is required, NO MORE, when complete, there will be about 350MB or more free when complete.
I am on AIM as penguinbait. I was helping people yesterday walk through this. Come find me, I will walk you through it..

Hope this helps!
