VFAT is used on MMC/SD cards by default for PC i.e. Windows/OSX/etc compatibility reasons. You need to use some other file system (it's a bit complicated, is there a Wiki page on using other file systems on the MMC/SD cards?). > and it doesn't appear to have written any files (maybe it wipes all > traces if it aborts?) Dpkg must remove aborted installations, otherwise you would soon run out of disk space on rootfs even for root (and as a result device would be in reboot loop if you'd reboot it at that state). - Eero _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
