I have a freerunner, which I have updated to the latest 2007.2 build using

Sounds interesting, would you care to mention which distro it is for?
Anyway, MD5 sum checking is done automaticaly in many tools, and most
people are familiar with the commands to check MD5 sums, so if the images
come with MD5 sums they will be checked easily. If they come with another
sort of checksum, it will be harder to check, for no real benefit.

as much as suspending. Depending on your settings, your freerunner may
suspend after a time with the backlight out.
Pressing the Aux key to lock the screen does just that. The phone will
turn out the back light or suspend according

either fix the offending files or take a copy of your data.
