The iLiad has the ability to restore the registry from a CF card.

If you plan on working with the registry of your iLiad, and don't want to loose
any of the existing settings you can do the following:

Install dropbear on your iLiad.
Copy the /mnt/settings/registry folder off of your iLiad (use winscp or scp)
On your CF Card make a x:\images\registry\ folder.
Copy the contents from your registry backup into that folder.
Enter "settings" (without quotes) into x:\config.txt

To restore, use the normal restore procedure.

This is probably not useful for the average user, but if you're a developer testing changes to the registry, it could come in handy.
