OK, I have read this whole post (very interesting). I want to install kde on my n810. what I would like to know is, why clone the os to the 2g internal card??

In case you ever want to remove the external card? It's similar for the n800, it takes more work to remove the internal, versus the external. So your less likely to take it out.

You can clone to internal or external card. install-tools.deb will install to 810 internal, (external card must not be present during installation)

install-tools-N810e.deb will install to 810 external card.

There is not enough space in flash memory (where the os lives) to install KDE, you must boot from SD in order to have enough space to install KDE.

I've done a search on this forum and see this problem has been mentioned before, but I couldn't find any solution.

I finally used this package to clone my OS 2008 to a 1GB SD card successfully. Everything works great, except I can't connect to my router anymore. I deleted the connection entry and retried, rebooted the N800, unplugged and plugged my router, shut off the encryption, but still get "Network connection error. Try again? (OK/Cancel)" whenever I try connecting.

Is there another post with the solution?

Hum. This was because I used the SD card cloned from one N800 with another N800. Now that the card is back in the originally cloned system, it is able to connect. Does this have something to do with the MAC address of each N800? Is there something I can edit to make the card work with the N800 that the system wasn't cloned on?

Confirmed working on N810 running Diablo

PB, you are a genius. Off to the automated KDE install, now

Amazing work, mon amie!

gonna put my log up here....i read where i went wrong....someone tell me if i
