I haven't upgraded to .49 yet (lack of time).
what will happen when I'll try to reflash the tablet? Will the new OS be installed on the MMC or the internal flash?

Maybe my question was not clear, sorry. At least the question was clear but I have wrote it down in a bad way.
Question is: will I have a way to upgrade the system without having to flash it? (i.e. copy the binary image to the mmc)?
Do you have any thought about my previous post? The one where I explain I can not unmount the mmc card? I'm already flashing the .49 firm now.

You can't unmount the dir because you are in it some where.. either as root or before root or accessing files on it.
My question is this. I did this guide and thought it was great.. I am booting off my internal mmc card for my os. However the first partition on the mmc doesn't auto mount. I can manually mount it, but its not accessible by the os. I can see and use it in xterm, but thats limiting when I want to read some pdf's off of the card. Also when I plug in the usb, I can't access that card at all via usb.
Is this normal? Since I am booting off the card do I not get to use any other part of it? Did I maybe have an error in partitioning?

I already done every sort of check just after the linked message but no luck... Now it appears that flashing the .49 firmware has solved this matter

I'm going through the process of cloning the original filesystem but still, once I have to apt-get -d install tar I get the "Some packages could not be authenticated" message. 
this is driving me mad!! What do I have to type to the second request where YES is not the default choice? y, yes, Y, YES, whatever else?!
is there any workaround for this? I tried the red pill mode trick, but tells me tar is in conflict with busybox!

Furthermore, I answered "yes" to the initfs_flash question about removing unnecessary packages, and now it wants to remove 116 packages - about 33,5 MB of files...
What should I do?
