I will update when I get some time. Any other issues let me know, it appears to be working great.
There's a .conf file as well... see the last item below.
Code:

I'm gonna sign off here with a note to penguinbait - thanks for hanging around helping. Finally I re-flashed my tablet, and ran the thing twice and it works like it was supposed to. Very impressive. I'm gonna clone it to the other 2 gig card also (while it's working) and I have NO idea what was preventing it from working earlier.

I tried running the version I force-installed, and, when trying to resize an ext2 partition, it stalls trying to check the partition for errors. This doesn't happen in Debian. There were file system errors in that partition...
EDIT: Something DID happen, the partition was shrunk, but it took waaay too long (2 hrs) and it was still going...

Did it error out? All the failures I had all ended in errors and it allowed me to save the error log.
Did you save the error log? if so what did it say?

Hey,turned out I didn't have to ew-clone the other card- it was working, it was just that the boot menu wasn't. So I had two (dual/tri) bootable cards all along, just a messed up bootmenu.

... yeah, I dunno, I went back to my Debian version and did my work there...
It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I don't understand why Nokia made it so hard to port apps to the tablet. Under EasyDebian, GParted has nice small fonts, tap-and-hold right-click, pop-up keyboard, and full-screen. Under Maemo, the fonts are so huge that the layout is mashed up and kludgy, and most users aren't going to have the Easy Debian usability hacks, so they won't have any way to right-click, pull up a virtual keyboard or make the app fullscreen. I am really beginning to see why devs are so loathe to "hildonize" their apps. What a lot of frustrating work!
Anyway, thanks for your effort, penguinbait. If you think this port/hack is worth it (and I'm just being too cynical), I'll try beta-testing some more.

Hm, that's got me thinking.
Maybe what we need is a small set of hacks that force-hildonize any app, just like I do for Easy Debian. We would need xbindkeys (for setting up the hardware key combos), wmctrl (for making things fullscreen) and matchbox-keyboard for us N800 owners. I'm also interested in seeing if libgtkstylus.so can be made to work in Maemo; if so, tap-and-hold right-click will automatically work for all GTK apps.
