Either you have Virtual Memory enabled, or you saved the deb file on the SD card you are trying to partition
doh! dork... I have VM enabled... didn't think of that

Thanks for the quick reply - now lets see if we can make this puppy go!

Can anybody suggest the change I need to make in my PC config to see these SMB shares? Thx!
Are the XP shares windoze or SAMBA?
Windoze shares on the nokia are flakier than a box of Wheaties.

Hey PenguinBait - okay, seems to be working (I think...) - is there an easy way to see if that's true? Also, when you say that this is 'optimized' for a 2GB card, does that mean if we use larger cards, we're 'wasting' a lot more space on the card as it seems the larger the card, the larger the boot partition becomes... or is that boot partition space available somehow... somewhere...

(as you can see, major newbie, so simple concepts / small words are appreciated)

again, thanks in advance!

I mean that it was made to install for 2GB card, it will make a 256 FAT partition, 256 SWAP partition and the rest will be boot.

4GB card
It will make a 512 FAT partition, 512 SWAP partition and the rest will be boot.

And so on. The waste is the SWAP space really, because you never really need more than 256MB swap.

So if you have a 16GB card, swap will be 1GB, this is where the waste comes in.

Just updated 770 to 2008HE and tried installing to 2G MMC. Install completed but no delay on boot menu and it immediately boots from internal flash. The DOS partition exists on the MMC but I cannot mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 (I'm probably doing something wrong).

At least user Atarii got it working on a 1G card <here> so I wonder if the boot menu script has changed?

Sometimes you need to run this manually

chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:mmc2


mmc2 is partition 2 on internal
mmc3 is partition 3 on internal

mmc12 is partition 2 on external
mmc13 is partition 3 on external

You also set the default to flash

chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:flash

I'm intrigued by the thought of the tablet doing samba... is the client installed by default? I don't see anything related to CIFS/SAMBA in app manager. I googled and found some references to shares being visible in file manager, but only if they were wide open... I can't fathom why anyone would use non-password protected shares, so I am puzzled.

quick and stupid question - is there a way to clone a cloned sd card? Was thinking that my use of an 8GB card might be a bit overkill - but of course, I've already added like a bunch of things to my cloned SD card already and didn't want to have to do it again.

So, is it possible:
1. to clone your SD card to another SD card
2. would it have to be exactly the same size to clone it or could you go to a different size SD card (say from an 8 to a 4GB card)?

and thanks for your great work for the tablet - it has made it all the more useful birthday present to myself
