now the listening netcat blocks the iliad boot process. And i can't use netcat because the network interface is down.

damn.

now i'll be the one to figure out how friendly the iRex user support is. :\
Moral: always set-up an abort time.

On the other hand, I think there is some internal recovery method. Yesterday I installed xrvt. It worked (no typeface, but it was working) but this morning in the restart the keyboard was not showing. Next restart it was, but, surprise, it seems the installed packages have dissapeared. So it seems that it has refreshed from the original.
