I very much doubt you can accedently flash something (My Palm has a flash rom, and the ability to flash itself - ive never heard of a palm wiping its rom!) Still, im happy to go with the majority here (and of course, i have the GPL power to implement it myself if I feel that strongly - more power to open source!) thanks g Received on 2003-07-27 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
