Also, steps 10 and 11 need to be swapped. |
Sorry about that, I was tired when I wrote that post. I fixed that.

respectively. All the other mount options are kept by default so no need to specify them again. |
Good point, I didn't even try that, I just put the full command because I know Root Explorer cannot remount, being as we have no recovery at the moment, I did not want to risk it mucking up /system. However I just tested this and it works fine.

For this, there is the "$ cat /media/bin/remount" at the end which probably all needs to be taken out. I'm not sure what it's suppose to be doing, if anything.

This stems from the tiredness and pasting too much from my windows CMD prompt. Sorry

This is assuming that the ext3 partition is of significant size for normal use rather than just a few megabytes to pull off everything you're accomplishing just in this post. |
This is another good idea.

And it also means that if /media disappears for some reason in the future, this base system command is still there in some form or fashion, even if it's mostly useless.
Otherwise, I concur.

I did this mainly to test other root applications that don't let you specify a path.
