5x00 General discussions / Some newbie questions, help please!

I have recently aquired a SL5500 with the intention of using it for a moving map/gps setup. Im in the process of re-installing it from scratch and have come across a few problems which I could use some help with:
* I have installed the Openzaurus 3.5.1 64/0 image with a kingston 256mb sd card as root. While doing this I had to put in a nameserver address, ive set this up for my network at home, but if I go somewhere else, am I going to have to change this manually?
* I have an Ambicom WL1100C wireless cf card, it works fine except for when the zaurus suspends in battery mode - it just hangs instead, no response to anything, have to use the switch on the back to reboot. How can i stop this?
* The bottom line of the screen always seems to be corrupt, or not cleared properly. This happens on the bottom of screen in either rotation. Is this normal?
* Ive installed Opera 6 with the 'runcompat' patch and it runs OK, except that the graphics for the buttons are missing. Anyone else tried this or had any problems with it?
* As I have the root on the SD card, is there a way of stopping the system seeing it as a removable drive? Also why does it seem to be mounted twice, once as about 15mb and once as the full capacity?
* How do I change the background picture, the little dragon is quite cute, but id rather have something less intrusive?
..That was quite a few questions! If anyone can help Id be really greatfull.
