I'm not sure what I install after a factory reset. Is that the latest update or is it really the whole OS?
A factory reset formats the rootfs partition and the user partition. Then it installs firmware from the recoveryfs and restarts. The install writes the uboot and kernel to the appropriate parts of the card. The rest is simply unpacked to the rootfs.

After the reboot, the device looks for an updated firmware. If it finds one, it installs it in exactly the same way as above.

I want to experiment with a new SD card over the weekend.
That's probably a good experiment.
