Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Hentges 3.5.4.1 For Collie

Thanx Coredump -- my goof on first part, guess my brain at 2am was not thinking that root had already pivoted so / should be the install target for cardfs and NOT /media/card....

Did just have to do part 2 again though -- boot and select 8, install the tarball as filesystem, boot off the #3 / SD option and fail on rc script errors, reboot (selection 1) on flash install, cd to /media/card/etc/rc5.d to blow away S20checksd, reboot again on #3 for SD card, and then finally install the cardfs apps (correctly into / this time)...

Now I can at least move on to customization and more apps installs...

Perhaps I am missing something here (and I am not, uhem!, inexperienced) but there does seem to be a fundamental conflict between loading both an altboot onto sd (filesystem NOT loop mount) and the cardfs apps...I have tried every possible ordering and each seems to want to destroy the files of the other (saying 'no' on the delete question just ends up as a noop w/ no install)...

And on at least half my installs today I have had to do the altboot install from the tarball, boot into the original flash install and then cd into the /media/card/etc/rc5.d directory and blow away S20checksd to get the thing to even boot into a gpe environment on a sd boot...checking the boot filesystem does seem to cause some problems (either trying to kill a process that does not exist or shell errors on input into some of the test conditions in /etc/init.d/rc)

While I am sure that I can construct a nice gpe environment all by myself having the package of apps in the cardfs package as a headstart is rather nice...

Suggestions?
