BTW: if one regularly refers to the work of others as crap and/or if one is talking crap, it is not too unlikely that at some point someone comes up with a nick relating to that.

“And fwiw: i don’t care at all that I am not invited for this TSC, but
I will keep speaking up if it is suggested that other people did not
show interest (as was done by Mr. Crapper).”

As you appear to have somehow got the Support of some members of OE to continue this behaviour I have no interest in interacting with OE anymore.

Please stop adding to your abuse of OE by lying in future.

And by stating that nothing is done you are actually something about your own (in)competence.

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

I’m not talking about the script, I specifically quoted the relevant part:

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…

We’d be very happy if you joined the discussion.

thanks!

But you could have given the proper credit…

I made few customizations:
– Detect if drive has been given on command line. If fail, then usage is displayed.

– I had an issue with your script by having Nautilus file browser (I’m using Ubuntu Gnome) starting automatically after FAT32 part.
Don’t know why! May be because of my SD card that was containing some pictures before.
Therefore, I added some umount before each mkfs/mke2fs to solve that issue.

LMAO! Too much Groundforce methinks!
