You probably have no choice but to reflash. I you are going to muck around in /etc you really should be cloning to a memory card so you can recover.

No. What he means, is you cloned to SD and play with the SD clone. If something screw up, you copy from flash to clone. I am NOT aware how to clone from SD to flash yet, ask some guru.

Hi.
I tried a couple of minutes ago to change some options in /etc/osso-af-init/matchbox.defs, but apparently with some mistake. Now, whenever I start the tablet it goes into an endless loop of restarts.
How can I edit/restore the file? I really don't want to reflash the tablet again..
Thanks!

Cloning from SD to flash hasn't come about yet. There is a thread around here somewhere regarding backup solutions for the NIT and this was discussed.
