awesome! could you please put it into the wiki, debian page? one thing for apt-get: - you may install apt-zip -- it creates a script that downloads the packages to update elsewhere - maybe it would be sensible to use a shared folder of your host as apt cache folder both things together in a

Yes - I noticed that the AUX doesn't lock the screen anymore. I liked that - I wish we will get it back. The screen saver just kicks in after some idle time has passed. pressing the pwr button for a few seconds does the trick mostly -- but there's no indication and you easily press too long

think about using the FR as a tablet pen??? It would be nice! someone proposed using the fr like that a while ago. but besides the sw-problems (it would require kernel module that presents the fr as pointer device) it will probably kill the screen's surface in no time.

I have a sandisk 8gb card, and it works just fine. I seem to recall reading somewhere that 8gb was the biggest a FR could handle? or was it that 8gb is the biggest that is known to work? what means fine exactly? - no bootsector corruption? - no sudden data corruption? - lost card on resume?

1 4gb FAT partition with the uImage.bin (one for each other partition) why is that? 4gb just to host the kernels is ... waste. But I have now more partitions (and these 2 ext3 ones are logical ones now, and recognized as mmcblk0p5 and mmcblk0p6 instead of mmcblk0p2 and mmcblk0p3 before
