What do I get by living on the Sardine bleeding edge? Anything better / more usable then regular OS2007? (what in regards to OS2008?)
And, sorry.. I did not understand from the section
"Steps 5 and 6 are optional and may be performed in order to upgrade the freshly cloned OS 2007 (not OS 2006 or OS 2007HE) to the Sardine bleeding edge test distribution
o 5 - Enter chroot gaol prior to upgrading cloned OS on memory card
o 6 - Initiate Sardine operating system upgrade of cloned OS on memory card"
if I have to start the freshly cloned OS then perform those steps or if I still have to do 5 and 6 when running "regular" internal memory OS..

Ok, so basically it's better to wait OS2008 to be ready even if this means 2-3 weeks, I guess

I've updated the "nupgrade.sh" script to include OS2008 support for steps 0 through 4 - I haven't tested Sardine upgrades yet on OS2008 and don't advise it for now!
To install e2fsprogs and wget in OS2008 see this post from Fanoush.

Has anybody ported a full version of Tar?
I'm getting the following error;
Or does anybody know a better way of tar-ing a full OS install, I'm currently running 2008 N810 version on a N800?
I'm getting the following error;
tar: unrecognized option `--exclude=/sys'

BTW, if anyone has access to some beta 2008 firmware (N810 and/or N800) I would be interested in initfs image or at least full list of files (cd /mnt/initfs ; ls -lR) and output of cat /mnt/initfs/linuxrc (i.e. whole linuxrc file).
