ROM choices, with a twist.

The cacko howto tells you to repartition your internal to allow for a 27MB partition. How do you go about that?

The cacko howto tells you to repartition your internal to allow for a 27MB partition. How do you go about that?

There's some additional info in the readme that comes with the ROM:

Installation:

    1. Extract the 3 files - initrd.bin tools.tar updater.sh - to the root of your CF or SD/MMC card.
    2. Make sure that Zaurus isn't plugged into AC power.
    3. Remove battery for at least 5 seconds.
    4. Replace battery (replace battery cover, lock cover), plug in AC power.
    5. Press and hold the "OK" button on the keyboard.
    6. Turn the power on, you should see the Japanese service menu.
    7. Now Plug in the Power Cord. (You will get an error if it isn't plugged in!)
    8. Select option 4 (flash/update).
    9. You then have four options (1. USB, 2. CF, 3. SD, 4. Back)
    10. Choose either option 2 or 3, depending on which media you put the files on.
   
    11. Select "5 Flash repartition", enter 27 when prompted for root partition size.
    12. Flash will be repartioned and Zaurus will reboot.
   
    13. Repeate steps 2-10 again and wait for the menu start menu.
    13. Now select "1 Install new ROM" and wait - Zaurus will reboot.

Worked when I tried it.
