 Hi,

shouldn't be necessary for basysKom Mer/MeeGo based Wetab/ExoPC images.
Those image are already affected by a
'printf \x9d\x2a\x44\x7b | dd of=${IMAGE} bs=1 count=4 seek=440 conv=notrunc'
 
But a useful hint for others.

 For mere mortals, what does this do?

 (It's always a good idea to note that, since not everybody in a multi-
 disciplinary team has the same domain knowledge.)
 
this command modifies the ID inside the partition table.
This kind of hack is needed because a WeTab without patched
bios do only like to start from a internal recovery partition
after using the recovery grip. This hex number is the identifier
of the internal recovery partition and by this we are able to
install from a external flash drive.

Hi,
here http://www.wetab-wiki.com/index.php?title=Bootmedium_erstellen
explanation,
I used this instruction because the image don't start on my WebTab.
I writed 1 year ago on
http://wiki.meego.com/Installing_MeeGo_Tablet_Developer_Preview_on_WeTab_Tablet

All images provided by basyskom boot and install just fine on my WeTab, the same 
goes for the WeTab-optimized Balsam image. The only case where I had to apply 
the hack was when I installed from a regular OpenSUSE image, so we're fine if we 
put it in the instructions for that one.


Best,
Thomas
