I can dream, can't I?

Hehe, I havn't touched Linux but all my noobish skills come back to me. It's actually pretty easy.

@to the op.

You can restore original initfs easily. You won't believe how much times I did it when I was messing about with text2screen (look at my sig)

When you flash boot menu, you get to choose to backup original. Obviously backup.

Then when you need to restore:

cd initfs_flasher (obviously into the directory where you untarred)
./initfs_flash initfs.orig.jffs2

Do you want to flash this image (yes/no): yes
<Return>

Done!

BTW I do not mmc boot (I did for a while but I had no space for films (rubbish 1gb)) but I still keep bootmenu on . You can still boot of internal flash by default & you get usb recovery mode options too.

Maybe some1 could compile http://www.hczim.de/software/mmc-unionfs.html for OS2008/N800
