Anyone know if its possible to remap/change the remote control actions on this. I tried the old thread thats on page one of this forum, couldnt get it to work.
I like the ideas they have in that thread, mostly the change of skip intervals. Having both back and forward both the same isnt very useful. Needs to be 30s forward and 15s back or something along those lines.

I have been trying to expand the last partition, Linux, to fill out a flash drive. This should be trivial since you don't seem to have to delete any swap partition as it comes before the Linux one. I tried gparted live, but it complained of unused space. This has to be a simple operation involving the resize command but for the life of me I can't do it. Is there a simple way to do this? I assume it requires a ubuntu live or gparted live distribution which I have. I am trying to go from 4gigs to 16 gigs.
The previous guides all had to deal with deleting the swap partition as it was the final one. This should be easier. Do you have to turn an ext3 partition into an ext2 one ( ie does journaling have to be off)?
I have expanded these partitions on my ATV and PC OSX systems and it should be similar. Not sure if it is a flash drive issue or not.
Thanks,
Philip
PS: I plugged in a notebook external WD drive into the ATV and it works off the USB port ( it the Element drive). I did notice that is slows down the ATV considerably when in OSX. Someone wanted to know if it could be done so ...

Not necessary to erase them sectors. Parted's hissy fit can be easily ignored, just run your commands for dd'ing partitions, then e2fsck; resize2fs. You can then gptsync after and fix the MBR for quicker boot.
