Hi Bob, JFS, Theo Thank you all for your insight. I had started trying to do what Bob was describing. It looked like I was moving in the right direction. My next issue was that the backups I was using were named block0 and so on. I was unsure of the correlation between the files named block and mt

Hi Craig, I managed to destroy ramdisk.gz and zImage during my fooling around, and I think you can combine several bits of information to remake your flash.  What follows is not exactly what I did, as I had only put bad images in my ramdisk.gz and zImage.  But, I think it's what you need to do.

Hi JFS, It's not a matter of wanting to reinstall. It's a matter of wanting to know what's wrong.  I tried all three of the wheezy images and I was unable to do an install with it.  It gets to some point, can't remember the verbiage, and then it doesn't go any farther.  It does consume input at
