I completely understand.
I have 1 n800 that has a busted kickstand I got it that way...don't know how the guy sheered it right off...
So now I use it on this


in a clamp...
no case...
The other day I was ripping down a hill at 80mph and hit a bump and it flew out of the clamp...
took a beating...
all it got at an 80mph impact and roll ..
was a few small scuffs to the sides...
LOVE my n8x0's ...

ok...so down to business...

Never used console tools v1?
Definitely a lot more fun than the wiki method.
Just make sure to use your comp. to ready the sd card ...
and follow the instructions...
and I suggest (and so do the instructions ..) that you temporarily set the font in xterm to 8 or 10 ..before opening console tools v1 pbeasy or pb ...
since you will have issues otherwise with showing the options properly...
It is a great deal of fun to use the console tools v1 ...
makes a breeze out of the process...
Just make sure you have a clean unfilled fresh flash of diablo or chinook or whatever to work from with only the bare essentials installed..(that includes only the needed repos...just to make sure...)
It makes it smoother process without glitches...with pbeasy.

And for starters I do suggest pbeasy...
then... when you feel brave... use pb.
You can do a LOT with it...
backup is a breeze...
cloning ...
copying your os setup to another sd ..usb..whatever ..a cinch.
multiple os's on your sd card ..easy..

I think you will enjoy it.
Pull out a magnifying glass to read the font size though...
