Just a thought for us windows folks....

I edited the file to include some links. Spend some time searching the forums in this site to gain an understanding of what you are going to do before you try it. You can download Knoppix linux from here and burn it to a CD if you don't have linux installed somewhere: http://www.knoppix.org

I don't know why my machine rebooted! As I think I mentioned elsewhere, my application installer crashed when I was installing GPE PIM and after that the machine was never the same again. I had to reflash the machine and after that I went to a reduced partition setup. I had no problems with /home/user on flash for many days at first.

Right now I have a large ext3 partition on the flash card (975MB) and a 24MB swap file. The machine runs great, mounts the ext3 partition at boot time and the flash disk is visible under "Memory Card" in the file manager and all file requestors. I left /home/user in internal memory for now, but store all my files on the flash card (eg. pics, mp3 etc.)

The OS is still somewhat unstable and so are the apps (browser, app installer, etc.) There will be better OS updates in the future so I figured it wasn't time to customize things too much just yet.

For some reason swap didn't get activated at boot with this method, I had to do it manually. I removed the mountmmc script and used the method described in the wiki instead. Simply run the following as root on the Nokia 770:
Code:
# sed -i '/exit/iswapon -a 2>/dev/null' /etc/init.d/minircS
# sed -i '/umount/iswapoff -a 2>/dev/null' /etc/init.d/minireboot /etc/init.d/minishutdown
That takes care of swap. I use fat16 for the other partition so that works without changes. But note that the fat16 partition has to be the first partition created, it is not sufficient to put it first on the disk.
