I updated my gp2x to 4.0.0 and I'm generally satisfied. But when 4.1.0 came out I looked at installation instructions and it says that I should have 4.0.2 installed first, but last time I checked there is no 4.0.2 for the f100. Is the 4.0.2 a minor update and works on both F100 + F200 or is it just a typo and I can install 4.1.0 right now.

What was the reason to install 4.0.0 on your F100 in the first time? 2.1.1 or maybe any 3 are way more advisable. The 4x series are intended for the F200, since the F100 versions just cut down functionality without any real advantage (read these comments and add no USB-net support)
Anyway, there is a 4.0.2 version of the firmware, but it is not clear if updating is dangerous for "old" machines.

I installed 4.0.0 for SDHC support. Also that 4.0.2 you linked me to is for F200, I have a F100. And the dangerous updating is actually downgrading on the "new" F200b's. There is no problem downgrading with the F100's.
What I originally asked was how can I install 4.1.0 for F100 if it requires 4.0.2, but there is no 4.0.2 for F100.

And my intention was to scare you enough to downgrade to 2.1.1 or 3 and install the SDHC hack (http://notaz.gp2x.de/other.php)

I upgraded my F100 (MK2) directly from 4.0.0 to 4.1.0. Make sure you've got fully-charged batteries...

thanks for the answer. Also I did not know about the 2.1.1 sdhc hack, but I don't mind! Thanks for the answers.
EDIT: now that I check the main site, the warning was changed to what perishabl sayed.
