Instructions are different BECAUSE it is being based off the just released CM7 testbed. And CM7 uses a different format (ext4) as described in the thread I posted about [http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...-bootable-clockwork-sd-card-0-1-cm7-rom.html]
And because of that change, you have to create a new bootable SD that will make these changes to the new format. This also means that restoring back is NOT possible by just restoring a backup. You will have to use bootable SD to REpartion/format the different partitions back to ext3.
Sounds scary, but anyone that has had to use a bootable SD to recover from something stupid knows it's not too bad. What I have is 2 seperate 4gb SD cards. One has all the bootable CWR stuff we've been using for the past weeks on it, and I can pop that in, flash the fix boot file, flash the restore to 1.0.1 file, then restore my backup. When I want to go back to CM7 i load up the other card I have with the new ext4_CWR bootable files and flash those new zips. Saves me from having to burn a new image every time I want to switch back and forth.
For now, I plan to keep both cards handy just in case, but I imagine it will be real soon before I won't be looking back to anything before CM7.

How is the functionality of the gingerbready kernel? Is everything working? Known bugs? I'm becoming more and more frustrated with the froyo kernel. I'd love to try gingerbread but the thought of not being able to flash back to my back up of 2.1 (if something went wrong) scares me.

You can always go back newell...it just requires a few extra steps is all...if there is a bootable CWR out there, going back is never too far away.

ahhh, i see. i'm still learning. I'm going to follow the posts probably through tomorrow and see whats happening. Then maybe I'll give it a try. I'm reading some kind of negative things on xda. It seems the market is not working right and youtube doesn't work at all (just what i've read). On the plus side, they are saying that over clocked it is extremely fast!

Ok so I'm currently installing 2.1. I'm a little disappointed with 2.2. My 2.1 worked flawlessly. I understand it takes time to work out bugs and I will go back once they are. I just couldn't take the video and wifi problems. I'm really following the threads at xda on the 2.3 release and hoping things work out for it. I'm a little confused and am not sure if it is a official Cyanogen release or not. I'll still be in here every half hour or so to read every ones updates... i think i have a problem

Cyanogedmod 7 is not stable yet. I am running it on my Droid and it is feature packed but has some bugs, but not many. I can't speak for the nook version but it is rc1 (release candidate 1) I believe. Cm usually labels releases as stable when they are.

CM7 for the Nook IS stable, it just is not feature complete yet. Cyanogen wouldn't make a release public if it wasn't stable. There are just some functions and features not implemented yet. And they won't be until they work. Main reason I love the CM team. But at some point something has to be released to allow for the community of users to begin working out the kinks, that's where we are.
Sounds like what you want to do is wait for the Stable release, and not a Release Candidate. Don't let the many definitions confuse you!

I've been following over at XDA and I gotta say that I don't think he will. Since the CM7 base uses a different file format and the core is different, I don't expect him to. I was upset at first thinking that I had found a ROM i liked and it was going to be dropped after a few days, but then I really wanted CM something anyway. Have you asked or seen a response to whether he will continue to support or not?
