And if you want to help things along even more, you could then have it make the changes permanent, by adding the word COMMIT to the end of the command line when running it, as in:
Code:
/reinit_partition_table.sh /dev/hda COMMIT

This will destroy any music on the machine, and you must then re-install the player .upgrade image again after running it.

Give that a try, add some tunes, add some more tunes, and generally beat on things. If it all seems to be working, then I'll roll it into a bigdisk_builder, and respin the .upgrade files etc..

Actually, I might eliminate the need for the builder entirely.. perhaps having Hijack automatically create a partition table when it sees a blank drive. Except for the music partition (/dev/hda5). Then the player software .upgrade files could format the swap on boot, and create/format /dev/hda5 to fit.

That might be nice. I wonder what I'm forgetting here?
