* To reboot the box, either unplug power cord, or from telnet/SSH type reboot -f[/li]

* To access a shared USB drive (windows \\IP, the box must be on (not in standby)[/li]
* You don't need to flash the firmware, if you use the Ext3 Firmware (.bin on USB stick)[/li]
* => Using the ext3 firmware you can modify files easily, as they are not in ROM Flash (e.g.), but you need to have already a customerbrew firmware flashed first
