Or why not just paste a REALLY large bogus config in there to max-out

On the flash, moving to a PC is easier (at least if we're talking about
newer devices using PCMCIA!)  :)

I suppose that everyone's level of detail is somewhat equivalent to the
level of paranoia or level of desired protection along the way!
