I will get into it, when I've time.
Today I have to prepare tomorrows work, that shouldn't take too long.
Then I have to test the x86 emu / WINE thingi and after that I can try the cloning OS part.
I've already got bootmenu installed and can edit the partitions I boot from, but the cloning is not working. Might try to extract the f/w from the .bin file - any ideas how to do this?

Previously, I used to do this on the N810 by extracting the JFFS2 image from FIASCO then replacing individual files from the files on my N810. Then you have tools to recreate the JFFS2 image from a set of directories -- and then recreate the fiasco image.
This is documented somewhere for sure, I didn't remember reading the mkjffs2 manual but a nice blog howto instead.
I'd do the same for the N900, only using their ubifs counterparts. It's better not to dd the flash filesystem as it contains badblock information. For the ext3 filesystem, I'd say its OK.
Note also that if you do this, the images will contain both YOUR personal data and Nokia's copyrighted data. don't distribute them -- but it's completely fine for a personal backup.

I think the idea of extracting a mirror image of the complete os is not as easy as we thought if it is indeed possible and am sure there has to be a way and image mountable as a .bin ready for flash this will lead to a system restore if an app is possible to take the system files at anytime as a complete usable image for flashing, that has got to be in line of a brainstorm and incredibly usable for linux devices.
Please try to persist on this *brainstorm* untill it is made possib!le.
Once again many thanks and appreciation to everyone on this thead for their time and brainstaking efforts.

This here seems interesting:
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/f..._ubifs_extract
I've only got kernel 2.6.31 on linux laptop so not sure if I can follow the instructions.
This WOULD help in extracting and copying the f/w to say a memory card but i'm unsure if we can package the files back into a bin file? (I don't have the skill to do that!)

I don't think it has much sense to do this on a clean installation.. o.O

"No; all Internet Tablets use JFFS2, but the N900 uses UBIFS as the kernel log will tell you. "
"That's not the FIASCO image you downloaded from Nokia, since you used THE UTILITY to unpack it. So they forgot to rename the file extension when creating the output file, or probably, they don't even care as the code for that is device independent -- big deal."
