I recommend using the whole SD card with root filesystem on it. Should you go this way, just partition the SD with single linux partition (type 82) and format the partition as ext2. Then, unpack the tarball into it. Don't remember about rootfs.tar.gz, and the could not find the altboot-faq anywhere. -- Arieh On 3/6/07, Richard Knorr <[email protected]> wrote: > > Great, I am making good progress here. > > Once I have the opie image tarball, I place this file in the > \media\card\boot-images of my SD card ( which is formatted fat 32).
