Robert, I seem to be having bad luck and back to ground 0 with nothing
running. Could you please send me the preferred link to start completely
from scratch? That is reformatting the SD card, installing everything,
etc. I am aiming at a system that boots the SD card. Sorry to bother you
again, but if you have the time, this would real helpful. A lot of the
material I google seems to be pointing at other systems, systems that
flash to the eMMC, systems that need to be compiled, systems that are
images to be dd'd in, etc. The links below seem to be for the kernel,
but not for the complete system. Thanks again.

If it helps, since it sounds like your starting over to "upgrading"
your system, this time maybe start with an image with easy kernel
upgrades?
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Demo_Image
(or if your in a none linux environment..)
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#eMMC:_BeagleBone_Black
as kernel upgrades are as easy as:
wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/raring-armhf/v3.8.13-bone28/install-me.sh
sudo /bin/bash install-me.sh
I have been working in 20 for a few months and have installed quite a few
applications. Are there any directions on:
1) Listing current apt-get packages that need to be re-installed (without
listing dependencies).
dpkg --get-selections > /backup/installed-software.log
sudo aptitude install $(cat /backup/installed-software.log)
2) What directories besides /etc, /home, /lib/firmware and /boot, etc should
be backed up and re-copied to new system
ignore /boot/ the new image should populate the bootloader...
3) Any other considerations for the backup.
This could be a good area for a tutorial; any takers? I could try, but I'm
not knowledgeable enough in kernel/driver issues.
Related question: how often should one be considering going through this
process? Can it be scripted? Thanks.
ah, store your application/scripts off the device and into a private
git/github/etc location... ;)
