OS installation/flash queries
#1
I've finally gotten around again to fiddling w the pine phone I bought a few years ago. I dd'd the postmarketos img to a microsd and booted the OS that way. Looks nice and runs fairly well. So I'd like to install it to the internal emmc.

I guess I'm kinda surprised that there seems to be no way to do this from the OS I booted to from the microsd. Am I missing something, or is there really no way to install/flash from it?

I found what seems to be a good online guide for an install at  https://bloggerbust.ca/post/install_and_...pinephone/ but it seems kinda ridiculously complicated. I've installed many OS's on pc's and flashed a number of routers in my day in addition to having a couple decades' experience running Linux so I'm sure I could manage this using those instructions. But honestly I'm hoping there's a simpler way.

I recall reading that someone has created an sd image with mutliple operating systems to try on this phone. It's a bit dated now though. But I seem to recall having read that one can, using that sd, install/flash the booted image to the internal emmc. Is that correct? If so, I'd prolly give that a try. Unless someone can clue me in as to a way I might've overlooked of installing/flashing from the postmarketos rom I've got running from microsd now.

Thanks
