Just run it in the same VirtualBox you're using to run the Emulator.

Unless someone knows of a programmatic way to get the right files, I'll probably have to have instructions there to tell people to download manually and rename to the right version.

this is what i'm getting do you need to run a different make version or something?
bashisms - I'll remove them from the next version.

Which is what i ended up doing.
Everyone can find the proper links for 1.2.0 here:
Webos Doctor Versions - WebOS Internals
Then swap the file in the download directory with the one you got above, but keep the original file name!!

What I also do, so i can run first time.. since im in the US with Sprint is comment the following lines in Makefile
[CODE]# mkdir -p build/${PATIENT}/rootfs/var/luna/preferences
# touch build/${PATIENT}/rootfs/var/luna/preferences/ran-first-use[/CODE]
Then go to /patches/pre-p100eww-sprint-1.1.0, copy the com.palm.app.firstuse.patch to /patches/pre-p100eww-sprint-1.2.0. Open up /patches/pre-p100eww-sprint-1.2.0/com.palm.app.firstuse.patch and erase all the patch data.
This way i can create custom builds that allow me to activate and fun the first use app.
Tested and works perfectly. Good stuff.

You should just be able to run:
palm-launch com.palm.app.firstuse
from a connected host using the SDK.

Hi Folks,
ok - I think this is a step by step guide...
Getting Ready
--------------------
1) Download Ubuntu 8.04 virtual machine for vmware (I used the desktop version)
2) at the terminal , type
git clone git://git.webos-internals.org/tools/meta-doctor.git
(if necessary, follow the instructions to install git)
3) make sure you have patch. Type patch at the command line, and if necessary follow instructions to download it
4) install java (applications/add remove/show: all available applications/java 6 runtime)
5) install the palm sdk (actually you only need the novacmd part). Instructions at developer.palm.com
6) download the rom jar to the /meta-doctor/downloads folder
rename download to webosdoctorp100ewwsprint-1.2.0.jar
check you have the right one using this page
http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/...octor_Versions
Doing it
-----------
5) navigate to the meta-doctor directory in the terminal and type
make CARRIER=sprint unpack patch pack
6) updated version will be in the build/pre... folder
7) make sure palm is connected to your virtual machine (check the VMWare menu)
8) run it with java -jar webosdoctor...
rWhitby - You Rock!

As it was stated in the original post, you need Linux to be able to do the change to the Doctor file. You could do it in a virtual machine however. I believe that is the directions that confusedvorlon was giving, was how to do it in a VM. Yes, Win 7 is capable of running VM images, but will require you have VM Software. (VMWare is one, VirtualBox is another)

Oh, and personally I'm waiting for someone (Jason?) to write this in to a multi platform based application.

bummer, what about any of the other products? What about using an already built image?

Any computer than can run Windows 7 can also be dual-booted or live-cd-booted with Ubuntu.
Have you tried VirtualBox instead of VMWare?
BTW, redistribution of webOS Doctor images is a copyright violation. Please do not do it, nor suggest it in this thread.

Oh, Please don't think I was suggesting a webos doctor image! I was talking about a pre-built VMWARE image of linux. Would never never suggest the doctor image.
But yeah, a live cd boot would probably work. I might have to try this myself.

My apologies for the incorrect assumption about what you meant.

with ubuntu you dont need a new partition you can install it right on windows and dual boot it is cool

I am running win7 and have ubuntu but not in vmware.. this guide will let you install it without harming your current installation of windows. also no need to moding any partitions or installing any boot loaders.
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
1. download 9.04 link above ^
2. burn to cd or mount on virtual drive
3. run cd in windows (the wubi.exe file inside the disk, it also comes up in auto run)
4. Click on
Install Inside windows
this will install ubuntu while running windows without the need of making a partition i would recomand making the install image the full 30 gigs if you have the hard drive space.
now restart and you can dual boot to windows/ubuntu
nice thing about this is that it will allow you to uninstall ubuntu right from windows as if it was never there and remove the dual boot. Not to mention the fact you do not need to partition your drive.
Note:
this will only work with the cd image found at the link on top of this post. the
dvd image of 9.04 is a live cd/installer and
does not have the option to
install inside windows

It could be that the limit is based on size of /var../apps relative to % of available space on /var. If so, the resizing var would likely work. If it's a fixed MB limit, like 25-30MB, resizing var won't work.
not a confirmed fix as of yet you can fallow it in this thread...

Im thinking about doing this procedure as I am over my 100mb freespace limit for Fairdinkum to work. I wanted to see what the longterm is though.
I assume that if Palm fixes this in an update soon that I would have to revert back to factory settings before doing the update? Would the remove be basically the same as the install?
