900mhz

Run X Term and become root, then type fiasco-image-update /home/user/MyDocs/zImagexxx.fiasco

Replace the xxx with correct mhz number, e.g. if your flashing the 800mhz you need to type fiasco-image-update /home/user/MyDocs/zImage800.fiasco

Remember X Term is case sensitive.

Once done please reboot.

This worked for me running PR1.1

If you want to return to the stock kernel then open X Terminal and become root, then use the following command apt-get --reinstall install kernel kernel-flasher and reboot.
Alright so this looks like the easiest way to overclock but I couldn't get it to work.

I downloaded the 800 kernel and put it in MyDocs as said in step 1, but step 2 with the X-term didn't work out for me. So could some one clarify what I need to type in to get it to work? Do I sudo gainroot and then type in fiasco-image-update /home/user/MyDocs/zImage800.fiasco or something different?
