Cramfs For Noobs

[TheFr00n]

I have a CramFS query that I haven't managed to resolve by either searching the boards or reading the install instructions.

Now, I use a fair amount of Linux in my home so I'm not a complete eejit, but step 4 says, "open a terminal on your GP2x".

How would I do that, exactly? I mean, I know what a terminal is, but I can't see how I'd open one off the GP2x menu, much less type in it.

You may point and laugh now.

​

there is sterm for the gp2x, you have to download it first from the file archive and run it.
BUT, its also possible and much easier to just run de included gpe (or gpu) which contains those commands.

Ahhhh.
I see.

Thanks, I'll try that once my batteries have charged up.

*points* Ahahahaha.

Now, I enter seriousness: there's a script that comes with cramfs called flash_cramfs.gpu. That'll work in place of a terminal.
