Very nice distro. I installed on Poodle (with Opie)  and it works until now pretty nicely.

Two problems (first one reported last time already) still remains:

a) the two front-buttons above "Cancel", which are "Calendar" and "Addressbook" doesn't work.

b) ext2 on MMC-card not possible:
It's not possible to format a 512MB-MMC card as ext2.

FDISK works OK:
root@poodle:/etc# fdisk /dev/mmcblk0

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 15484.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

But when I try to format it, it breaks:

Writing inode tables: 16/61
Could not write 8 blocks in inode table starting at 131075: Attempt to write block from filesystem resulted in short write


Interestingly, formatting the same card as vfat works, but again, I'm not sure if there might come other problems later ?

any ideas ?
