| I have to give a warning about Chazco's Windows based installer. I used it successfully to flash a card and then uninstalled the program. The result was a totally hosed USB subsystem. I ended up having to reinstall XP. I would recommend imaging your boot drive before using his program, in case things go bad. |

| o_O Oh oh. I wish you would have posted your USB issues prior to the XP reinstall to see if we could help work out the problems (rip out the HKLM VxD and hardware info, etc ). I'm sure that type of knowledge would have been useful to know what went wrong so that either the installer fixed or others with the same problem helped.
Oh well  |

| Is that using the little thing I developed? Does it work  ? |

|
| Before chaczo gets his installer to work properly, I highly recommend installing JLime in the old fashion way. |

What actually went wrong with it? USB works fine on several other test systems after using the installer. |

| Sorry - wasnt logged in...
The beta version you tried does have some bugs in, quite a lot have been fixed, but this is a new one. Any information about what actually happened would be very useful. |

| Installer #2 is ready to be released with the next JLime. It no longer needs to modify USB drivers, or even use a disk image. The new one installs using initrd.gz, and can run via Activesync or a USB card reader (or even on the device itself as a CAB file ). This one shouldnt be able to damage the host computer, and doesnt require massive downloads.
ProgramSynthesiser (What would really be good would be an installer for CE, but that would be programming suicide (porting the partitioner, coding for CE...))

| Hahaha, thanks for proving me wrong. 
This is one situation where I am glad someone bashed me for doubting their programming skills. Well, good luck, and what about copying an image file to the FAT partition instead? |
|
| |
|
| Thats how it works. The initrd.gz contains a script to partition and extract a full userland to the newly created partition(s). Its under testing and seems to work well.
