[E3-hacking] NAND backup

[David Given]

Hmm, I thought that was documented on the 'getting started' wiki page ---
turns out it's not.

This is part of the turnkey Linux distribution for the E3. You can get it
here: http://the.earth.li/pub/e3/ Get the E3_release_v2.tar.gz file, and
follow the instructions in the README.

Really this should be front and centre when it comes to doing stuff with
the E3, but, well, this was all 14 years ago and the information's all
bitrotted (I'd certainly forgotten it ever existed until you prompted me).
