sl-5600 cant boot after opie packages

Drop to that console again, login as root and type the following commands:

cd /
tar xvf /root/.home_default.tar home/QtPalmtop/bin
tar xvf /root/.home_default.tar home/QtPalmtop/lib
tar xvf /root/.home_default.tar home/QtPalmtop/plugins
exit

That should restore most if not all Sharp Qtopia apps and libraries without wiping any data out.

Looks like /home/QtPalmtop/bin/qpe no longer exists, as it must have been overwritten by one of the opie packages I installed.  How  do I get it back in there?  Hopefully it\'s still easy to do file transfers from my PC without Qtopia.  Question is, where do I download qpe from?  I guess I also need to make sure to obtain the correct version of qpe.
