hi ive had some problems with stale files also, it is a reproducible bug as it happens whenever the system reboots unexpectedly when installing something big like xulrunner or some such.

ive tried to bake up my own image using ext4 cause fsck.ext2 wasnt working on the affected vanilla image although it worked after i modified the mounting script to handle ext4 its fsck doesnt work either so could something like reiser be more recommended here?

also when installing initial image only options are MyDocs and SD but MyDocs here is only 2GB and i need it to install on /home partition, am gonna try to alter the script do you want my contributions back?
