Unfortunately, it fails miserably on international - or at least non-english - versions of ubuntu et al. The call to "fdisk -l" returns a localized string, which doesn't usually contain "DISK". this can easily fixed (i.e. worked around) by adding LANG='C' export LANG at the top of the script, right after the "DRIVE=$1" definition. Works as it should after that. Thanks Good script…almost.

I figured out the technique and came up with the Linux instructions – before that everybody was using Windows formatting tool from HP. See the history of http://wiki.omap.com/index.php/MMC_Boot_Format or ask jkridner, dirk, etc.

I’m usually not that ambitious, and I wouldn’t be so bitchy about the proper credit, if I didn’t see all the praises of how good the script is and complaints of how sucky the instructions are…
