Hmm, I really should have waited for your reply before charging in head
first as usual... I didn't bother with any of that pansy backup business
and immediately flashed it with clockworkmod + the very latest nightly
cyanogenmod build.

Probably should have been a little more conservative :]

Cyanogenmod unfortunately just sits at it's admittedly pretty cool
loading screen until I reboot it, so I'll try again with a stable build
instead. I promised myself I'd be a little more careful with flashing
the Nexus as I'm completely new to it, and that promise lasted all of
about 5 seconds. D'oh.

Is there a particular client side (Linux) tool I should be using to
streamline this? I'm just using the adb tools + the Nexus onscreen menus
at the moment.

Thanks for the info.

Cheers
