Well it sounds like maybe you just need the DEB. The clone deb cannot screw up your flash partition and if its not installed on the ext, it was not in flash, when the clone was run, or it would be on external/internal partitions also
Since I had implemented rotation the old fashioned way--i.e., not with slide rotate--I just reinstalled all the debs associated with that method, restarted, and presto!, rotation support is restored.
Thanks a million PB!!

I want to have Diablo on the flash of my N800 and Chinook on one of my cards. Chinook is currently on my flash and I used your install-tools.deb to clone it to my 2GB card. That is working fine. If I now install Diablo, I assume I will lose the boot menu. What I guess I would need is just an easy way to get the boot menu back after flashing Diablo. Right?
What's the easy way to do that? Thanks.

But don't listen to me. I have no clue what I'm doing.

I installed Diabalo and indeed lost the bootmenu. Is there any chance we could have a package that *just* does the boot menu part? I don't have a spare SD card and it would be painful to have to back up an entire card *just* to re flash to boot menu. HELP!!
Eddit: I did look at Fanoush's stuff, but I'm not sure exactly what the package did to install the initial bootmenu, so don't want to mess my working device up.

You won't mess it up. Fanoush's stuff only create a new intial bootmenu. Copy bootmenu.conf.n8x0.example to bootmenu.conf and modify it to your taste. Just a simple ./initfs_flash will give you a new bootmenu!

I may be miss understanding the point of doing this but i was wondering if there was a way that this could be done with Android? I would love to be able to keep that on a card or even on the internal sd on my n810.
Thanks

Sorry forgot to hit the quote button and this server is barley alive, so I aint going back
The reason for cloning specifically is to get more space for installing applications or even data.
This still allows you to boot from Flash as you do now, but you will have a bootmenu, with the ability to boot to another partition, with whatever you want on it.
You can have multiple instances of the OS with different purposes if you like. Setup a work partition, home partition, media and gaming, whatever you want to do with it
