Thanky aubuti and Mnyb. However, maybe I am a bit slow, but still not fully convinced. Do I understand you right: You just to store all the files that are accessible over SSH the firmware as it is found on http://update.slimdevices.com/update/firmware/7.8.0/ and the server files on http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.8 . However, will this enable you to restore everything, if for some reason, the update servers or whatever is on the internet are not accessible through the touch? In particular, Firmware / Kernel, Installed Apps...? What bothers me a bit is, that a factory reset does obviously only revert settings and apps back to default, but not the firmware. So what if a nightly firmware or an experimental Kernel messes up the touch, so that the internal restore tool does not work anymore? How can the thing be reinstalled from scratch? As far as I understand, this is simply a piece of gear made to live as long as Logitech supports it, and one has to live with that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ diego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40897 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95594 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
