Great! It'd be pretty nice if we could come up with an installable
app that will just do the Copy from Flash to SD and re-configure to
boot from SD process for an end user. I'd find it quite useful - as
a matter of fact I prefer to have my entire system on

i'd think the only thing to care about would be /var/.
just as idea: rsync the whole of the fr to the sd card and diff after a
while to see which parts changed.

Great work! I was going to do something similar to this myself this
weekend but I'll wait to hear of your results before I do! :)

you better off using cpio or rsync imho for copying filesystems entirely
since they know more about devices/pipes/etc

You may be right, although on a typical Debian system, I tend to trust

Hi.
I thought of moving my currently running (quite fine alhough the usual
problems, i.e. I can place calls anyway) 2007.2 system to microSD, so
that I could flash the new 2008.8 image and run it from flash (it
seems I cannot manage to run it from SD, btw).
Would you recommend a good procedure
I currently have Qtopia on my microSD, it doesn't work 100% but enough to use
it as a backup phone OS. The key is to follow the wikis--- but make sure
