don't know mate. I just tried the post above and won't boot it at all, just loops back. I can't recall what I did lastnight though did get it to boot twice, that said, was rough. Would loop back twice and then reboot and start but did boot, now I am lost.
By this I mean:
apt-get install bzip2
cd /home/user/MyDocs/
bzip2 -d debian-m5-v3b-rootfs.tar.bz2
cd /
mkdir /easydebian
mount /dev/mmcblk1p4 /easydebian
cd /easydebian
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/debian-m5-v3b-rootfs.tar
Does this make any difference, pardon my ignorance ?

Guys,
What does it mean when the Multiboot .item file lists though with a quaver at the end of it?

p.s. Fedora (another linux distribution) will boot but I'm pretty sure it'll boot straight into command line and some knowledge is required to get a desktop enviroment.

infact, if you alreasy have the power kernel.tar in my docs, the very last two steps will suffice.Code:cd /home/user/MyDocs wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/...power37.tar.gz cd / tar xzvf /home/user/MyDocs/multiboot-power37.tar.gz
but thnks 4 the advise ^^

I just don't know how to start it now as no icons as you normally get when installing via repos. Do I need to start via xterm?
If so, could you assist me by telling me how, sorry, never used linux before. Always been a simpleton windows, click button guy, lol
thanks for your help.

How do I add power kernel38 to multiboot and remove 37 from the multiboot menu?
EDIT: I just reinstalled kernel37 until further notice....
