Re: Partitionning separate /home/ floder to SD
I just did as L. Gasser said, it's working fine, i notice some slowlyness in xTerm in the neo when working in /home/ area but it's no big deal. Used gParted to make partitions, and used ext2 instead of ext3 thanks guys J On Monday 20 October 2008, Iain B. Findleton wrote: All that works just fine, particularly the use of a swap partiton which eliminates the slowing of the FR with time. I also made /usr/local point to the uSD so that any applications I install are not affected by changes to the flashed stuff. I notice little negative effects by putting as much as possible on the uSD. I did appear to observe that using ext3 on the uSD partitions appears to be faster than using FAT file systems, however. That is just an impression as I have not run any tests. Joel Newkirk wrote: On Sun, 19 Oct 2008 22:39:34 +0100, Andy Selby [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there a way that /home/ is in my SD card?

Did you try #link /media/card/home /home Actually that'd be 'ln'... ;) The solution I suspect Andy is seeking is to alter /etc/fstab: /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/card autodefaults,async,noauto 0 0 change to /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home autodefaults,async,noauto 0 0 This replaces /home in the filesystem with the contents of the first partition on the uSD. (note that if the /home folder already exists that this will effectively redirect /home to the uSD without touching the 'local' /home, so that if the uSD is removed, corrupted, etc, and doesn't mount, there's still a /home/root folder, just without everything you customized and added while on the uSD) When (if) I get my FR where I plan to retain the same installation long-term, I intend to carve up the 8gb uSD and have /dev/mmcblk0p3 as /home. (partition #2 as swap, #1 as alternate boot) j ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Partitionning separate /home/ floder to SD
Hi, Tryed to find in the threads but no luck. Is there a way that /home/ is in my SD card? Only /home/, like we do in Linux distributions... so I can flash whenever i want the Neo without loosing configuration files, icons and stuff I am adapting for myself in the Neo? The idea is to have the OS in the flash rams in Neo, and /home/ in mini-SD, this is basically one of the awesome features in the base of linux distributions that helps me sell it.

isn't there a way that the game rotates by itself instead we giving command line instructions? On Saturday 18 October 2008, Tobias Kündig wrote: You have to rotate the screen to landscape.

I have submitted the bitbake recipe and patches to Openembedded, but there's no need to wait while these trickle down the various branches. I have created the binaries for you. On both FSO and OM2008.8 you can install http://3v8.net/~sander/openmoko/libboost-signals1.33.1_1.33.1-r3_armv4t. ipk http://3v8.net/~sander/openmoko/pingus_0.7.2-r0_armv4t.ipk Also libpng3 must be installed, but I haven't been able to get the dependency right, so you'll need to do that manually.
