You should have well over 25MB of main storage memory still free when you're done, a pretty mean feat for an Apache! Oh, and don’t restore from a full system backup as you’ll end up restoring pre-3.5 system files.
So would I be putting the cabs to the programs I use in this extended rom folder?

If so, all I was able to put in that folder were 3 items before I received the "not enough room" message. Did I do something wrong?

My extended_rom2 shows storage capacity of 9.93MB with 7.39MB in use. (this is where I placed the cabs).
Instead of putting cabs there, click on the cabs and select "Extended_ROM2" as the destination.
Thanks J.

Now on to my question- byhaving an extended rom folder, does this mean that if I have to re-flash, I'll still have these programs right here available to me; or.....do they just continue to work without me having to re-install them.

Hope I've asked that right.
The programs will still be there, but the shortcuts and registry entries won't, so you'll have to reinstall them anyway. The Ext_ROM area is just an extra 10MB of space to install programs, leaving you more space in main storage for data.
