I was about to post -
These instructions are great but do you have a foolproof and idiotproof way to back up my N810 system to external flash (so I can restore it when I invariably mess up and do not have an operable USB port) and do the instructions?

strangely my swap partition seems to have dissapeared now. It says there is no room for swap, but I can't see where it is gone!

OK, after a bit of digging about, restarting etc, I can't seem to get it to accept swap from the UI. Am I missing something here?

Ok... here goes.
1. Clean 2GB card in mmc2 (internal slot on n800, running latest 2008 (admittedly modified like crazy.)
2. SCP'd the install.deb int /home/user.
3. Resisted temptation to go Linux on this and do dpkg -i .... using the installer instead. (grumble
)
4. Remembered why I hate the install tool... moved the deb into one of the MyDoc dot files.
5. Get warned by Nokia that they aren't responsible for the software. (well du-uh)
6. Get passive pop-up that the memory card is available. (this looks like it's a good thing.)
7. Xylon "eye" still running after about 1 minute. Expecting this to be a long install so no problem.
8. Took less than 5 but more than 1 minute (time isn't an option here.) Gave me an all clean message that the install was successful.
9. Removed power to shut down.
10. rebooted greeted with fanoushes boot loader. accepted the default.
11. Boot from mmc2 failed .... booting from flash (this thankfully succeeded.
12 upon boot I get a message that the memory card is corrupted or otherwise unreadable.
13. Did a USB connect to my laptop (running Debian)
14. From the laptop I see this
fdisk -l /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb1 1 3829 122527+ 6 FAT16
/dev/sdb2 3830 57435 1715392 83 Linux
/dev/sdb3 57436 61264 122528 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Unable to mount or read the files there as well. I'm going to re-format and try again with this card. Ok... got into an endless boot loop.... Got out of it by moving the SD card to the other slot. Now back to square one. about to finish the clean up and try again.

Again , as noted in the install info, if it fails the first time, just boot back to flash and re-run it again.
What I noticed is some cards need to be rebooted after partitioning. I you reformat it again and then run again, it may fail again.

You do know this creates a swap partition and enables it, so you do not need to use a swap file, unless you want even more swap?
open xterm, and type
free
it will show you how much swap you have and its usage

It is the internal memory of an 810. I seem to have 119MB swap and FAT space, and the rest as the internal memory, so I cant have 128MB swap file.
But I am not complaining, it means I now have plenty of useable space on the device in a non fat format I can use for unixy things.
It was a bit of a pain compiling on the device and running out of room all the time.
