Neat. Though I'd beware of trying to make a new squashfs file from Windows. Windows tends to trash the unix-style permissions on the files, and when you repack it, it won't boot correctly.
Still might be useful for tearing apart the system and finding out how it ticks.

Unfortunately (depending on your perspective) Donut is no longer particularly stable or robust on the raphael. It's been left behind, and most of the dev work has gone into the eclair port. You can try playing with the files from
the Raphael Donut page on XDA-Developers, and pairing that with a newer kernel as linked on page 1 of this post. (Don't bother with the rootfs -- donut won't boot off the new rootfs).
The new kernels do not use the same wireless driver, so wireless will not function. 3d may or may not work, given the changes that have been committed since Donut was left behind. Frankly, I'm not even sure it'll boot.
This htc-linux branch (Diamond, Raphael, Rhodium, Topaz, Blackstone) is in the strange position of having the eclair version more stable and full-fledged than Donut. Unlike pretty much every other device that'll run Android. That said, give it a try and report back. Donut is still more responsive, for one thing.
