No e2fsprogs (or even wget) on N800/OS2008 using the default repositories (+extras)... anyone got any suggestions where to find them or is it just a case of waiting (I'm guessing the latter)?

Since I have more partitions I did the cloning in OS2007 where this is not a problem (unless you want to login via wi-fi

Thanks Fanoush - that worked a treat! My simplified cloning script also now supports OS2008 for anyone who wants a hassle free method of cloning the OS!

Hi - yes, I just installed your latest bootmenu and it all went swimmingly, I didn't bother with telnet or dropbear though. I've now booted into a cloned OS 2008 on mmc2 and rebooted back into the internal flash. No hitches, no problems. Many thanks!
