Great job, pronuke!
As an another Linux dummy, great thanks to your contribution!
One question, though -
Isn't it a typo?

Format Partition 1

# umount /media/mmc2 (this step is omitted from other guides)
# mke2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2
# shutdown -r now
(device will SD and Restart)

Shouldn't it be like that-

# mke2fs /dev/mmcblk0p1

El Camino & godd,

Thanks for the thorough scrub of the instructions. I am working to fix my typos now.

I'll try to answer all I can here:

Post 119: Choose "MMC card, partition 2, ext2" to boot to SD card.
Post 120: You are correct; the lines should be:

# mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/KDE358.tar.bz2 /KDE358.tar.bz2
# mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/SUP.tar.bz2 /SUP.tar.bz2
(lines above edited to fix typo)

Post 122: You are correct; to format partition 1 use:

mke2fs /dev/mmcblk0p1

I am NOT an expert on this, so use my advice at your own risk. But heck, what's the worse that can happen, right?!

Since the OS boots from the second partition, if it was me I would try the following combination to yield ~ 6 GB on the FAT32 partition (for access to files later) and ~2 GB for the boot partition, KDE, applications, etc ...

/dev/mmcblk0p1:1,180000,6 (this is a ~6 GB FAT32 partition)
/dev/mmcblk0p2:180001,, (this is a ~2 GB Linux_83 partition)

(edited this to correct my poor math ~ 2 hrs after original post)

Anyone have expereince with this specific situation?

Pronuke any idea why I get a error when I type in "# mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/KDE358.tar.bz2 /KDE358.tar/bz2 and I get mv: connot rename '/home/user/MyDocs/.documents/KDE358.tar.bz2': No such file or directory

Thanks for your help.

1. Back to the Zaurus
2. Begging for an ASUS EEEPC
3. "Yes dear, the Nokia is still working fine... I use it every day, really"

What the heck, the wife is at bellydance class 'til 9 tonite, might as well give this a whirl.

My post was all screwed up. I fixed it - go back and take a look at it now. I also fixed the html version.

Sorry...my mistake! I hope it didn't cause you too much wasted time! That's what I get for doing too many things at once!

Pronuke is this correct from your instructions?
# cd /
# /tar-temp/bin/tar jxvf KDE358.tar.bz2 (takes ~30 minutes)
# /tar-temp/bin/tar jxvf SUP.tgz (takes ~15 minutes)

When I type the first one I get a error that says.
/tar-temp/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
/tar-temp/bin/tar: Child returned status 2
/tar-temp/bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

anyone know what to do? Yet so close to finishing this up. Thanks again.

Ok I ran this "apt-get install bzip2" and now its loading up.

Got everything loaded Thanks Pronuke for your help. Is there a way to speed this up. Also is there a way to install Adobe Flash Player I downloaded it but don't know how to install it. Just started to use this N800 1 week and half ago. Thanks.
