Sdcard + linux + QT howto

Hello!

I have been tryig to piece together these 3 items onto my Micro2440.

I would like a linux with graphical interface with the kernel and rootfs
both on the sdcard.

I have CentOS 5.4 on virtualbox on my pc. I have downloaded the 

kernel uimage:(i am using uboot so it is OK) 
http://www.friendlyarm.net/dl.php?file=linux-2.6.32.2-mini2440_20110413.tgz

and the following img file (it is the rootfs, right?)
http://www.friendlyarm.net/dl.php?file=linux-root_qtopia_qt4_20110305.zip

Now how should i begin? I would like to skip  kernel compiling and all that
stuff. If someone made a new kernel and filesystem, it should be easier to
use that, right?

I think i should partition my sd-card with 3 partitions: 
    1:  100 MB swap
    2:  200 MB Kernel uimage (what fs type?)
    3:  1700 MB Rootfs (what fs type?)

From there, how should I proceed?

If i get it together, i will post a newb guide about it.

Please Help

I think it really depends on what you would like to learn and/or be able to
produce in the long term. 

a) start from scratch and learn how to compile the kernel and build your
own root filesystem
b) do as you suggest and learn how you might have to do it differently
c) use a BSP that after a day or two gets you writing applications

 
1: OK
2: raw data 10M would be more than enough
3: ext3

and download the QuickStart Guide and read section 6.3 or thereabouts.

gets you going on setting up the SD card to use with u-boot
