I don't understand how to erase the blocks, I was never good at Maths that why I am not a programmer, I have Autism but am

<br>
That should be possible as you have the files, now without their<br>
16 bytes per 512 bytes overhead. You need to work out how many blocks<br>
to erase based on the size of each file you're trying to put back.<br>
IIRC I pointed out a block is the unit of erasure and it's 16 KiB.</font><br>
</font></div>
<div>
<div><br>
So e3-nand.0 is 3584 KB so how many blocks go into it…? so how many times dose 16KB going in to 3584KB…?? I don’t know..?? I can’t divide. Iam a bit ok on Add not brilliant at Times but can’t do Divide.<br>
I was crap a Maths,I left school in 87,32 years ago… 😊 I got a 5 for Maths. that's a E ,…lol
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Could you work it out for me, I do not know how too..?<br>
<br>
How do I know how many files there are in each image(mtd0,1,2,3,4,5) and what size they are, you can’t open it like a normal partition, Dam Amstrad this will take forever…lol ☹</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I be copying and sharing the firmware from my new E3 I am waiting for it to arrive, its activated.<br>
<br>
My plan is to flash the copy of the firmware every time the E3 deactivates itself to activate it again, hopefully for 3 months,you see… 😊 ? My plan is to get all E3 working, well to the point you can use the Phone, Address Book and Answer Machine and that.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I still think the firmware needs hacking…😊 if we could get in and edit the Delta_e_live.config you could open up the whole system, that file configs the emailer so Amstrad could added different options in Setup(Setup Button) too that file so they show
up, that's why some options in Setup only has like 1,2,3 options because the rest is hidden.<br>

<br>
Linux as you know it is three main parts. There's the kernel, that's<br>
what Linux really is, and it talks to the hardware. Atop of that are<br>
the user-space programs, like the shell, ls(1), etc. They give you the<br>
command line that many of us appreciate. And then a bunch of user-space<br>
programs can together provide a graphical environment with windows,<br>
menus, etc.; a `desktop', like Gnome, or XFCE. Linux distributions<br>
bundle those all up together.<br>
<br>
So the E3 is powerful enough to run a Linux kernel, but doesn't have<br>
enough memory to run a modern version, just as Intel 386 processors are<br>
no longer supported.<br>
