Hi! I'm tired. Tried to do everything I could to figure out but I don't know linux so I can go only so far.

I dropped my N900 and its eMMC is broken. I want to get my phone to work with just microSD. So far I got it half-working with help from here

http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/.../751901#M17953

I have got everything else working except installing applications (I have only used the Application Manager). Camera and other normal stuff works. My pictures go my microSD. For some reason I can't add contacts anymore (now run out of space?). Maybe contacts are saved on the flash or something? There should still be free space on microSD.

I have read that applications install to /usr and /opt right? So do I need to mount those somehow to my microSD. I really don't know how to do that, I have tried the half-day to get this work.

Now what would be really sweet if I could somehow just install cleanly my Maemo to microSD and be done with it. For now I have just tried to mount those two directories to my microSD.

My microSD is 2gb. What I just found was instructions for installing Meego to microSD but it requires atleast 4gt. Not sure if this really means that I could use Meego without eMMC. Here's the link: http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Install/MMC

I have few times installed Maemo before using flashers and such. Maybe you could somehow choose the device like microSD in the phone as the target for installing? But for now I have just used maemo wiki instructions and they seem to presume you still have your eMMC intact so I can only do firmware but not the other thingie which would propably set up /home and those directories to eMMC.

I didn't find any help installing Maemo to microSD. So i'm asking here
