Kenny - what exactly do you mean by "It worked" ?
Several of the list gurus insist that a Cold Boot will not work for
non-MP1xx series machines - i.e. it will not remove system updates on the
MP2x00 or eMate. I'd like to sort this out so that we know whether it is
OS- or hardware-dependent, or both, so that we can put accurate info in the
FAQ.
Even though I haven't seen a convincing reply to the "why would you want to
downgrade" question...
