[cobalt-users] [RAQ3] Installing a RAQ550 ISO?

Say I succeed. That means I should be able to install 550. Cool.
But, say I get enough of the 550 OS :) , would I be able to install the RAQ4
or even RAQ3 OS again?
Also, with the backup it generates (the IMG file), can I import this one
back? So say it goes wrong, or I just simply want my old ROM back?
