Re: upgrading existing install

O.k., you familiar freaks, help me get out of this fine mess I've made
for myself. ;-)

I have an ipaq that I installed 0.4 onto, by putting the 'full' image on.
After playing with it for a while, I got the wireless working, so I've
got direct 'net access now. So, I decide to 'ipkg upgrade' everything
to unstable.

Oops. Ran out of room. Trashed the libgtk package, I do believe. I've
been trying to back my way out, by 'ipkg remove'ing various large items
(like bash and dillo), but I never seem to get more room in flash.

(Had to hand upgrade ipkg itself, after trying to upgrade it solo,
before I realized I was out of room)

At this point, I'd be willing to trash the whole thing, reload the
'bootstrap' version of familiar, and only install the bits I want. Any
suggestions as the best way to go about that?
