Battery seems to work.

Next silly question: How to I wipe the unit and CF card and return it to its factory configuration?

Also, it appears to hang for an excessively long time when I attempt to unmount the system via USB. I suspect its doing something, but there's no progress bar. I'm hoping that an internal and CF memory wipe will help resolve this problem. Also, the thing is filled with documents I don't care about.

I've already tried using the finder to toss files in the trash, but the finder didn't like that. So I pulled up a terminal window and cd'd into the mounted filesystem, but was unable to manually rm -rf the files too.

There has to be a way to simply clean and return this thing to its factory configuration. And yes, I've read the quick start guide as well as the User manual. Neither offered help on how to completely wipe the machine of user data.
