PW1: How to disable OTA updates without jailbreak?

[EbokJunkie]

5.4.4 update of PW1 is going to kill extra fonts on my PW1 (not jailbroken) and I wouldn't like this to happen.
I vaguely remember post (was it by ixtab?) with advice how to prevent OTA updates just by creating a file with certain name...but cannot find it now.
Please advise if this option is viable for PW1.

To summarize:

2) Create a DIRECTORY of the same name: 'update.bin.tmp.partial' in the root of the visible USB storage area.

Your presumption being that the update download continuation code can not recover from that change (since to remove a directory under *nix is a different command than to remove a file).

Thanks! Will try this.
