Easy revert to original firmware?
fraterfrater 1213515233|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

I wanted to undo all my hacks and wanted to restore the original partition and start all over again.
I didn't like the way I added the C-compiler to my system.
The files didn't have their original dates anymore because I didn't use the -p during the copy process (—preserve attributes).

I did a cp- p /var/lib/current-version /var/lib/current-version.org and changed the text "2.0.0.18" to "2.0.0.17" in /var/lib/current-version.
After that, I did a firmware "upgrade" using the webinterface….
After 15 minutes I could start hacking again.

Isn't this the easiest way to revert to the system firmware?
