This is not that hard to do. (Thanks to Fanoush) I just see no real need to do it?
Well.. I want to play with 2008 now and then, but much prefer 2007. So it would work for me.

I probably won't bother right now, as the only reasons for 2008 were to try KDE (tried it, but it's not really day to day usable) and to try wired ethernet. I don't need wireless if I have wired I can put debs on via USB if I need things to help the wired project. So while I could flash and reflash (and I'll have to re-read Fanoush's stuff so I understand just what I'm scripting) I probably won't bother.
