You can repartition internal storage and use ext4 for as filesystem. You then have to add "/dev/mmcblk1p2" on the second position in menu.lst.

Dumping the squashfs file from archos. Create a dir on your internal storage with the name "/openaos/dump". On startup from the bootmenu it will copy the secure squashfs from /mnt/system dir to the dump dir for further extraction.
