[Angstrom-devel] Angstrom installation trouble

Hello.

 A while ago i installed Angstrom GPE on my C1000 machine. It went ok, but then i reverted back 
to cacko. Now i am trying angstrom again. I did NAND restore to original sharp rom and then 
installed Angstrom GPE from here 
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/autobuild/akita/Angstrom-x11-image-glibc-ipk-2007.
12-r17-akita.rootfs.tar.gz.
 But when Angstom boots, it stops on X loading displaying empty background with mouse "x" 
cursor on it and each 1 or 2 seconds display blinks. I can press any buttons, move mouse 'x', but 
there is no reaction.
 I suspect the problem may lay within /home directory which is not erased during NAND restore 
and contains some files from my cacko installation and may contain the traces of previous 
Angstrom install. I do not like to purge /home thus i'd like to keep the possibility to revert back to 
cacko with simple NAND restore of my cacko dbk. What should i selectively delete from /home to 
make Angstom work ? Or may be its not the problem of /home at all ?

Thanks for your advises.
