Thanks Bob, much obliged. I went to the Z-Wiki page and had difficulty finding reference to backing up the system (any system). I think they have changed/deleted some things - whatever.
For any neo-newbies such as myself who may be reading this; After much snooping around I realized that there is a very detailed set of instructions on ROM updating, right at the Sharp Zaurus website. Contained in those instructions are indeed links and how-tos explaining how to go back to a "default" ROM. See below.
(Note to first time Zau-runts , like me! --> ROM in 'Zaurus speak' actually refers to any
code-files that are
put into the Zaurus's ROM - ROM, pronounced like mom, is an electronic critter otherwise known as a non-volitile memory chip. I wish they had not chosen to call the code-files ROM and had instead called them 'Programs' and 'Operating Systems'. Referring to them by
where they are stored physically, instead of
what is being stored, confused the @#*# out of me for a while. Serves me right for being a hardware geek.)
OK, here are the links. The pages are very detailed as I said, and for the most part are written without grammatical errors. Read all the fine print.
