I've got the hardware, and would like to assist, but not sure if I've got the 
experience necessary. Last year I wrote a crude and simple script to reset 
the setting for the touchscreen input, which I could refine.

Is there an Opie image (which will start with kernel 2.15+ - maybe one 
intended for 8.4-rc2?) available to test - or one with the initial screen 
setup disabled, so ssh can be used to get it up and running?

I've no experience with JFFS filesystems, but have had a quick try to mount 
the opie image (on Desktop PC, Gentoo 2.6.16.9 kernel) to have a look, but 
the mounted directory listing gives 0 files, although 10% disk useage?? 

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious - (maybe the commands are for a 
flash device only, not an image on HD?) or if there's a howto somewhere.
