Do I do this all through my phone? Do I need to make sure apps n settings n stuff are turned off?

Download from your pc/mac and extract to your sd card. The rest is from your phone.

from what ive read, doing an OTA update (cupcake) will unroot your phone.
ur better off not doing OTA updates and updating ur phone when the Devs create an update, wich are always more up to date anyways ( multitouch JF 1.41 ) . ive been reading all morning im thinking of rooting right now

so what if i wanted to unroot my g1 if i root it. Is that possible without an OTA update?

So doing it this way, you don't have to mess up telnet or terminal emulator? Does it also install superuser whitelist, telnet and terminal emulator?
