Hi, I'm about ready to flash a new distro onto the FreRuuner main memory but since it'll be the first time I wanted to try backing up the existing distro first. So I followed the steps on http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Backup .
However I'm unable to back up the rootfs as it takes more than 40 minutes and after 40minutes the FreeRunner continues to boot and I get: $ time sudo dfu-util -a rootfs -R -U 20090419-rootfs.jffs2 [sudo] password for m8ram: dfu-util - (C) 2007-2008 by OpenMoko Inc.

Or have it continue where it left off? The backup is already 247M... Thanks in advance Bram _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
