A couple follow-up questions to my previous post about whether CardFS is required. . .

First, if I use CardFS, can I install/uninstall the applications within normally?  Secondly, if I remove the SD card, will it bork?

Yes you can uninstall and install normally. And yanking the card out will crash the whole thing. If you umount /dev/mmcda1 all your cardfs apps will disappear and leave you with a konsole and filemanager only. Remounting the card brings them back.

OK, I've flashed the ROM (with CardFS), and I'm liking it.  There is a little wonkiness when removing and inserting the SD card (for example, although all the apps [dis|re]appear like they're supposed to, I get two tabs each for PIM and Games (of which, one is blank).  But otherwise, it's not that big a bother for me to leave the card in--I can always SCP the files I need out and back.

So. . . my question for now is. . . to install apps to CardFS, do I only need to do a "-d sd" as usual?  Is this not going to install to /opt/QtPalmtop/, etc.., like in the stock OZ ROM?  I noticed that the files are in /mnt/card/bin, as opposed to mnt/card/opt/QtPalmtop/bin.  Thanks for your help. . .

Yes, then do

ipkg-link add 'whatever'
or
ipkg-link mount /mnt/card

If you restart Opie it should fix your tabs... but I'm not positive because I don't remove my SD-card.
