This isnt so much a problem as it is a question.
I thought i was finally beginning to elevate my zaurus noob status (finally got my cross compiler setup, for compiling apps for the sharp rom, then i setup bitkeeper\oe for compiling for oe)
Normally i run zynergy with the special kernel (i have the pxa250 bug)
I recently flashed my 5600 to oz 3.5.1 with gpe using the cf card. it booted and loaded fine, it's very nice! i tinkered a bit with settings etc no problems other than known bugs that have been mentioned in the wiki.
Later i flashed it to the 3.5.1 image with opie. same thing, no problems, tinkered a bit etc.
then...
i reflashed to my usual rom, zynnergy (i know i know, i should use oe full time, but seriously, remember this is a 5600, so oz prior to 3.5.1 is basically unusable without a ton of tweaking, and besides, i'm writing an sdl app that i already have the compiler setup to work with the sharp rom)
after rebooting after the flash it appears exactly as it was prior to flashing the oe-gpe image. EXACTLY! all settings, files, everything. how the f did that happen? i thought for sure that my zynnergy files would be erased when i installed the new rom.
so obviously, i have no concept as to how the zaurus update procedure works, why is my old filesystem intact? shouldnt it have been erased when i installed the new rom?
