i am newer to n810,i wanna clone the OS to mmc for dual boot. I do it follow this wiki:http://wiki.maemo.org/Booting_from_a_flash_card.My problem is that i add Extras-devel (http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras#Extras-devel) and run: apt-get install e2fsprogs,it shows the sourcelist is wrong,so i replace the "#" to "/",run again,it didn't find e2fsprogs,could somebody tell where is the download source,thanks

Use instead the link I recommend in my sig (not the Newbie link).

thanks,GeraldKo.i will try it,and another question, could i partition SD card on my computer?

No need as Penguinbait's app will do it for you.

Well, if you want to do things yourself and enjoying it, why not?

Info for partitions are here, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...plified&page=2, thread #46

commands are as follow,
This is for a 2 G SD in external slot, the slot behind the kick stand, not the one next to the battery compartment, will partition into 0.8G/FAT and 1.2G/ext2. FAT is your storage, able to be read by PC/windows and ext2 is where the tablet OS lives.
===========================================
1) partition
xterm
gainroot
umount /media/mmc1
sfdisk /dev/mmcblk1 -uM
0,800,0C
,,,
(return)
(return)
y
reboot
2) Format FAT
xterm
gainroot
umount /media/mmc1
mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk1p1
reboot
3) Format ext2
xterm
gainroot
umount /media/mmc1
mke2fs /dev/mmcblk1p2
reboot

step 2 and 3 can be combine together to save one reboot

some more links for info, the most complete of course, GeraldKo

Finally, if this is too much, there is always PB's auto tool around

Why am I posting this? This is how I started, bit by bit, and finally develop into an intimate relationship with, uh, debian

enjoy,

bun

well,GeraldKo,i use the guide which show in your post,when i went into the Red Pill Mode,and installed becomeroot successful ,but e2fslibs failed,it said that incompatible application package,why?

My OS version is 5.2008.43-7,i think it the lastest version

thanks for help

I hate to say it, but ...

Heck if I know. I use Penguinbait's automated tool, the link in my signature at "try here first"

I have the same question, and I'm not a newbie. Where's e2fsprogs for Diablo? There's a package for Chinook only. Why hasn't someone put it into the Diablo repo?

EDIT: Same goes for e2fslibs!

Diablo's Extras-devel has 'em both, but Diablo's Extras only has two libs from it so the rest just need promoting.
