## go to root
devel-su

## mount your Nemo partition somewhere to access it
mount /dev/mmcblk0p4 -t ext4 /mnt

## now confirm that you REALLY have the correct partition there, this should give you some info about your Nemo release:
cat /mnt/etc/meego-release

## now, wipe the stuff you have got there:
rm -rf /mnt
sync

## now, extract the archive to partition:
tar --numeric-owner -xf filename+path-of-your-tar-archive -C /mnt/
sync

## now, detach the mount
umount /mnt

That's how to do it. Now if everything went dandies, just boot your device and retry booting to Nemo.

Okay, so check what do you have there, the command is "ls -la /mnt"

If you have Nemo installed, you get something like this:

Code:

~ # 
~ # ls -la /mnt

Also, to mke sure you mounted it correctly, give command "mount | grep mmcblk0p4"

This is what you should see:

Code:

~ # 
~ # mount | grep mmcblk0p4
/dev/mmcblk0p4 on /mnt type ext4 (rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
~ #
