When you've finished shut-down the Linux install then kill the terminal shell and clear memory,
Doesn't seem to close properly from the VNC however this is just the background that remains in the memory, everything unmounts cleanly, and it can't be reopened until the memory is cleared. Since its a CHROOT its opened from the android environment and needs to be killed from the same terminal. You'll see when you shut-down the terminal closes and there are unmount commands in the .sh that are executed upon shut-down.
Its pretty much working, let me know if you have issues.
Thanks to whoever built most of this, this was floating around on dell streak forum months ago then it dissapeared so cant find it hosted anywhere any more, modified a few bits to get it working on galaxy s II
