I have found an issue with formating swap partitions on this. It calls mkswap which is busybox version. I created a script called /usr/GPARTED/bin/mkswap it contains
/sbin/mkswap $3
When gparted calls it "mkswap -L "" /dev/mmcblk0p3"
mkswap for busybox does not support the -L "label"
/sbin/mkswap $3
When gparted calls it "mkswap -L "" /dev/mmcblk0p3"
mkswap for busybox does not support the -L "label"

/usr/bin/gparted is a script to fire it all up.
I will need to change the script. So if you have any ideas let me know. I was doing a umount before and a mount after, but it needs something better

UPDATE: their seems to be a packaging conflict problem; Here are the errors
dpkg --install /media/mmc2/gparted-hack.deb
(Reading database ... 16121 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking gparted-hack (from /media/mmc2/gparted-hack.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /media/mmc2/gparted-hack.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/e2fsprogs/initrd.ext3-add-journal', which is also in package e2fsprogs
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/media/mmc2/gparted-hack.deb
Do you think it is possible to fix this problem?, possiblly by modifing the postinstall and control file?
dpkg --install /media/mmc2/gparted-hack.deb

This only works in flash, if you fire it up in a boot from SD partition the tablet will reboot while trying to scan /dev/mmcblk0 and /dev/mmcblk1. I assume this is because of the initfs issue with bootmenu.
The approach I took was using several debs from Debian and some compiled apps from me.
I ran into several problems, but was able to overcome all of them so far.
The install is 20MB (6MB download, 20MB on Disk, 10MB on flash)
This will also give you sudo access
Ignore the memory card corrupted errors

I think this is working well, let me know if you have any problems 11/16/08
