backups

I want to backup may zaurus using dd
I have /dev/mtdblock0 on / with cramfs and /dev/mtdblock1 on /home with ext2
how do I backup this so I wont lose my modifications and installed programs when I hardreset
wherein I can just pop the image from dd then replace the old initrd in my cf card for reflashing

btw using cacko SL-5500 kernel and TKC 1.0 initrd
thanks!

TIP : Best audio encoding for portable players/Zaurus

Recently I have been encoding my CDs with oggenc -q2 found it crappy tried -q3.
Then I remembered the listening test http://www.rjamorim.com/test/multiformat12...28/results.html in which a modified libvorbis won first place.
Apparently it was tweaked for <=-q4 so I thought I was using -q2 -q3 why not try it out.
Compared my old -q3 encodes with aotuv -q3 encodes. The tweaked libvorbis/oggenc produces smaller sizes plus better quality. what a treat!



libvorbis patch for *nix :
