That is exactly what I did. Before I reformatted the installation hung several times. With that card I've installed openinkpot more than once. Never had a problem with it. Until now.

Since this wasn't going to work I reformatted the SD card as FAT16 but since then the installation won't start at all.
I don't know why my BeBook can't read the card. On the card is one primary FAT16 partition. I did this on Ubuntu and also Windows. Both refuse to work. I tried different cards, different firmwares and formatting on different computers and OSes. What is left to do?

Why can't my BeBook read the file?

BTW... both are 1GB cards, one from Transcend and one from SanDisk.
