Great it's working. Sort of. To re-iterate, this is what I did:
Use gnu-tar to extract files I remade the tty and pty files in /dev anyway just to be sure (mknod seems to work) Remounted my cf card as per your instructions below. The sort of is that I can't un-suspend. The on/off key doesn't work to turn off (not sure if this is normal), so I used the command from 'start menu'>system>suspend. A soft reset is now needed to get up and running again. The suspend problem seems a lot like the conflict which used to occur with the original XFree86 from sourceforge, but after rebooting I didn't think the scripts ran (I also tried it straight after running INSTALL.d/postinst.sh with the same result). I'll have to take another look.
