    Could anyone help me get hold of the original IM without restoring? I can't find the packages anywhere.. just wondering if anyone can help before I resort to a thorough sift through the restore CD!

    I got it back!
    I just aimlessly copied several folders that felt relevant and got lucky :p Most notably (in case anyone else cares), open up the recovery USB image, run hdc1._ through bz2 and then tar, and check out /usr/acer/lib
