My name is Son and I came across this website: http://www.thisweekinnuclear.com/KDEonN800.html along with the how to easily boot from your mmc on maemo.org. I began on walking through your tutorial on how to boot from a 2 GB SD card. I successfully got my N800 to boot from the 2 GB SD card. The capacity of the N800 is now about 1.4 GB. I began to install KDE, but unfortunately, it failed to install due to the insufficient capacity. Though I have a 2 GB SD card, but it labels within the device is a 1.9 GB to begin with. So could that be the problem? Or is every 2 GB SD card should have the same capacity? I know that to put this device, n800 in good use is to buy as much memory as possible especially there are a lot of useful applications to install. With the n800 booting from flash, no much application would be able to fit. But I have heard of many people suggesting to get a high capacity SD card to allow many applications to run, but how if one cannot boot from the SDHC? If my knowledge is correct, booting from SDHC is the only way to allow you to install as many application as much as your SDHC can fit. For this knowledge, I went and purchased a 16 GB SDHC card. I reflashed the n800 to os2008 again in which case everything would be deleted. So I began your tutorial again, but instead on this 16 GB SDHC. Everything seemed to be working fine, but until I get to the option where I choose which to boot from. I chose MMC card, partition 2, ext2 like how you stated, but it failed to boot from it and began booting on the flash. I continued to reflash it again, but this time on OS 2007 and same result. I kept on redoing the process over and over with both OS 2007 and 2008, but no good news. I am very new to Linux and N800. I have been doing researches and so far I only know how to become root and followed your instruction. It?s getting very frustrating as I cannot put my n800 to good use with this 16 GB SDHC. You seem to be very professional towards this matter with the OS Xterm. And I wonder if you could help me on how to boot the n800 from 16 GB SDHC. I sincerely thank you for your time and help. If you find a solution to this, many n800 users, including me will really appreciate it. I know they would because I have not yet seen any one who is able to boot from a 16 GB SDHC. Once again, thank you for taking your time to read this. Best Regards, Son Le
