This will be interesting to check out.

~thank you~ fanoush (and the guy who wrote the 'EASILY' howtos)!

It is wonderful to be able to make image backups and not go through system reconfig. It's so convenient now! For example,

To back up:
dd bs=1M if=/dev/mmcblk0p2 | gzip > /media/mmc1/images/IT2006_2.2_Working.gz
To restore:
gzip -dc /media/mmc1/images/IT2006_2.2_Working.gz | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0p2 obs=1M
It's uh, not super fast with a stock kernel :P
