In principle, the Iliad's software will move away a file when you open it, that is, opening a configuration file will make it dissappear. We made the browser open some file directly, with the result that the Iliad can't boot anymore. Apparently it doesn't do it when you follow links, but that may change. (Or design just opened stuff that's not needed till next reboot so far...)

Doing an update like this from a clicked link would require a major change to Minimo - something I very much doubt they'll do - and something that is easily checkable by browsing round a CF card.
And yes, all the suggestions here should carry a brick icon - if you're reading this forum, you should be aware of that. I've bricked countless machines in the past - from soldering homebrew hardware onto Atari STs to rendering one of the few Psion Netbook Pro Linux prototypes unusable. I already have my oscilloscope and logic probe ready to have a poke around the Iliad once I get a few minutes free from work :-)
