ColdSun,

Thank you for this.

Here's what I did: for both of the 2gb SD cards, I bought them in Best Buy, opened them and used a PC in the store to format them as FAT32 (I have a Macbook, so figured it was easier to do it like that).

I didn't see the soft.img file, but perhaps it was hidden. Either way, I still got that "Init SD fail" message for both of the FAT32 cards.

I've now downloaded Python and Comix to the Q7 itself. Do you know why I can't just run them from there (GPI gives me the same message even if there's no SD card in the slot!)?

I'll try again tomorrow with another SD card.
