Good to know this, before I was doing:

1.) sudo gainroot

enter

2.) usbcontrol

So now I see that all I have to do is type root to get a root shell (you can probably see I'm a total n00b when it comes to linux! )

Thanks!

I see. I could have phrased it better when I said that; what I meant is whether the whole flash area is wiped but according to you it seems that this is not the case.

Could I then delete everything in the config area and then reflash? How do I go about doing this? Again, as you can see I'm not very experienced with linux but I know enough to find my way through the filesystem in terminal.

Thanks!
