Due to certain issues (which I won't go into here), I removed Barry Allen from the cf card, along with all the images (which Barry Allen sometimes found, sometimes didn't). At least I thought I did.
Even though Barry Allen was absent from the list of extensions, the red Barry Allen flash screen appeared when I restarted the Dreambox - sometimes with and sometimes without the options to boot into any of the images.
So I removed the cf card, deleted barry allen again, via the telnet function on the dreambox control centre. I then turned off the dreambox at the mains a couple of times, shoved the cf card back in (while the dreambox was off).
Hoping everything was fine, I opened the dreambox control centre and searched for the cf card. Didn't find it of course, but I did discover masses of Barry Allen stuff in a directory called autofs/sdb1 which I thought I'd just spent time deleting.
Questions
!) How can I check whether the cf card is empty - it's hard to know which directory it might be nested in (autofs, bin, boot, dev, sdb1 etc.)?
2) is it alright to delete images directly from the MB_Images directory (via dreambox control's ftp function)?
3) Is it alright to delete the ba directory (which includes masses of stuff connected with the different images (nabilo, newnigma etc)?
4) How do I format the cf card so that Barry Allen is installed on the card, not the hard drive?
I shan't mention the hours spent searching the web for answers to these questions.
