No problem. I've done it before. On the uci note, ^Cricket^ says ".uci is a .tar.gz'ed cloop file, the .dsl is a .tar.gz that calls the script that copys more of the file system in to ram". From what i've gotten, cloop is a module for the linux kernel but on reboot goes back to normal.

Just to be picky.....
UCI is a cloop file, not tarred or gzed. The cloop filesystem itself is compressed...maybe uses the same algorithm as gzip, but i have no idea. The cloop file is mounted just like any other filesystem, such as ISO9660. The "goes back to normal" is a result of the filesystem being umounted when you shut down, and then not automatically mounted when you boot (since it's not in fstab).
