<pre wrap="">Rather than having wires hanging out the side, why not melt a small hole
in the laptop casing and shove a switch in there? :D

<pre wrap="">Hi Jon, Luke .....
So far I have been unsuccessful with Luke's method ....
I will solder wires out each side of R46 ..which can then be shorted from
outside the netbook when re-assembled ....
i believe you have directly copied the entire NAND flash 2gb DIRECTLY onto
the 2gb SD card ....
Could you upload exactly what you have put on the sd card? .... and how do i
format the sd card? is it a straight copy and paste?
I will try both methods once i got the open of the shorted wires sorted out ?
Much appreciated ----

<pre wrap=""> ok these are the fdisk commands.
on any linux system, insert 2gb SD card, check where it got mounted
(/dev/sda, /dev/sdb or /dev/mmcblk0) do this:
fdisk /dev/{whatever}
then type these (return after each, blank line indicates press return as
well)

you must have _exactly_ a 2gb SD card for this to work. this will
create three partitions, in _reverse_ order, the last will be in
exactly the right place and exactly the right size so that _this_
file, when uncompressed, can be shoved directly onto partition 1 (at
the end):

you will do that with:
$ bunzip2 mmcblk0p1
$ dd if=./mmcblk0p1 of=/dev/{partition 1 of sd card} bs=512
so if from above you are using /dev/sda then that's dd if=./mmcblk0p1
of=/dev/sda1 but if your SD card is mounted as /dev/mmcblk0 then it's
of=/dev/mmcblk0p1
