Hey All!
I did a flash update to the most recent version of OS2008 and that did the trick as far as getting Garnet to install.
One of my top priorities with this is to use my Ereader book collection on this device. Since that is all registered to my Sony Clie, am I going to be able to use my same reg codes to get Garnet to accept them?
Also, a really simple question. With this file structure, where do I store the actual PDB files (or books) on the device so that Ereader through Garnet finds them? In Palm OS structure, this is done in the "Launcher" folder.
Any suggestions!

If you copy all files/database used by your application (prc/pdb) from your clie to gvm, and set the same username/userid in gvm you should be able to use your registered apps.
Username/userid can be read or set with free tools like ChangeName

If you don't remember, go to the bookshelf section on the ereader.com website (click on BookShelf at top of screen). It will list all the ebooks you've purchased and under the Unlock column will show the purchaser name for each ebook and the last 4 digits of the credit card number you need to unlock the ebook.

Pushwall:
eber42 said that the info on GVM folder structure is in "the above thread"...
you don't happen to have that url or instructions since you are on here now do you?
I assume it isn't as simple as creating a Palm folder on the mini SD card and then a Books folder inside of that is it?

I am loving being able to store my ebooks on my sd card. Its wonderful being able to carry along as many as I like and not worry about room on the gvm itself
!
The only hiccup that I have found is with my database apps. For some reason MobileDB and its databases work great! But with ListPro and ThinkDb I can only get the apps themselves to work from the card. The actual databases will not show up in the slot1 category. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on what I need to do differently? Or what I may have done wrong?
And thanks again for all the work that has been done here

Hello Maemo community!
I've been around off and on for a few years, but this is my first post. I've got an N800 running OS2008 and had successfully installed Garnet VM Beta 3 and Epocrates.
Trouble is, Beta 3 ran out and do to my circumstances at the time I removed Beta 3 and opted for a fresh install of the new, shiny, Beta 4.
Now, however, when I attempt to install the Setup.prc from Epocrates.com (which I have copied to the external SD), I get the following error:
Failed to install Setup.prc (err=0x30060209)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you're not Hotsyncing correctly.
You might need a current version of the setup.prc since it's been awhile (though I doubt that would be the problem here).
Remove any firewalls that your computer might be running.
Also, make sure that the USB box under connections in Hotsync Manager (for Windows) is not checked off, only Network (TCP/IP) should be checked.
Good luck.
