Hi Frederic,

> Is "eflash home" the way to go?

I just tried this and it appeared to work. The jffs2 file system seems to be
created on the fly while booting. It took some seconds when the initial
gpe.conf was copied to it, but the then everything went fine. However, while
shutting down I got 2 messages:
> jffs2: No clean _or_ dirty blocks to GC from! Where are they all?
> jffs2: Couldn't find erase block to garbage collect!
I'm not quite sure what they mean. Maybe they'll go away after some garbage
has amass by file operations. Or do we have to flash an empty jfffs2?

I'll have a look at your new images at the weekend. I really appreciate your
efforts!
