[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] modifying root filesystem

[From: Lorn Potter]

I tried the instructions and scripts for modifying the root filesystem,
http://maemo.org/platform/docs/howtos/howto_use_flasher_rootfs.html

It seems the rootfs.packages and sources.list are out of date, or there are a 
few packages missing (hildon-status-bar-display).

The make_rootimage.sh script seems a bit unfinished, as it's help lists 
--outprefix and --jffs2 which do not work.
(looking at the script, it seems there are a few missplaced 'x' characters, 
and variable not all caps)

I manually tar.gz the resulting root filesystem (the web page doesn't mention 
the need to do this part), and ran the tar2jffs2.sh, script, flashed the 
device, but the device keeps rebooting..
