Root superfast kernal... please help.

hey ya'll im still running DI01 (haven't done any networking to get DJ01 yet...)

Anyhow, I'm planning to run Geeknik's StupidFast for DI01, but what's the exit strategy? In other words, if I flash stupidfast, how can I completely remove it? Would a nandroid restore work? Thanks! Slowly trying to get back up to date with everything!

PS:

Sorry for the noobness, but what's the clockwork red people are talking about? Is that the modified CWM that enables backups for voodoo?

stupidfast is a nonvoodoo kernel so you can flash anything over it to get rid of it (kernelwise) just be careful in rom manager as the newer stupidfast are DJ05 kernels...not DI01

voodoo5 as of 11/24 i believe has a permament clockwork recovery built into the kernel that is voodoo specific. if allows both backup and restore w/o having to disable or remove voodoo. it also allows you to enable or disable voodoo in recovery and allow system conversion

Hi can someone please verify that I have my facts correct here before rooting my SF that is coming tomorrow?

1)install samsung drivers
2)root- one click method
3) install CWR through odin or rom manager? does it matter?
4)backup
5)flash superclean rom
6) is it at this point I flash stupidfast kernal? Do I just do that through rom manager? And Do I get rom manager from the market?

I've been doing lots of reading, but I think my brain just doesn't process this stuff that well,lol. Will doing this fix my possible gps issues or do I need to upgrade to djo5 or whatever??? haha, please excuse my ignorance :p Thanks to all that feel like helping me out!
