I'm on OS2007HE now, yeah. It's installed on the flash memory, I also
use an MMC but the OS is not installed on the MMC.

Wow, that's a _lot_ of stuff. Isn't your 770 running out of memory with

There's a few packages from your list that sound useful, I might try
looking for OS2007 packages on gronmayer.com.
