Most people won't bother with all this work and limitations and just

It is a lot of work to get dm/lvm working to merge two 512MB cards.
2GB cards are really getting cheap. I just noticed this place selling
2GB cards for $18.
This is already on the wiki[1] and ITT forums. This is not new.
I would recommend cleaning up the wiki page if you feel it is unclear.
Alternative2 is what you did.

Hi Jakub:
Maybe for N800, but I've bought N770 and hope last a couple of years (two as
a minimum).
Nevertheless I'm trying. I've just played with the
copy-your-existing-filesystem thing. I think I've succeeded copying my
entire system to the ext2 partition in my mmc. Cool.

True that internal flash won't be used at all when booting from the card

I suppose you could just boot from MMC and then install everything on it !
I don't see how you can compare a N80 and the 770 ???

Maybe it's not a question for developers-list, but Nokia didn't thought that
