If you want to flash ROMS frequently, though, I recommend that you keep all the .cab files on a CF or SD card so you'll have them readily available when you want to reinstall everything. You could also back up all your contacts, notes, and everything using a backup utility -- then you wouldn't need to connect your PPC to the PC at all; just reinstall and restore everything from your flash drive. This is pretty much what I do, so it takes only about half an hour to restore Everything after a new ROM install. Also, remember your registry changes, if you have any, though you might not need them. I keep mine in a note.
The .cab files are usually kept in your C:\Program Files\Microsoft Activesync\[name of the program] directory -- even if you originally installed it through by sync through Windows, the cabinet file for every program you installed should be there, so just copy those to your CF/SD card, and you won't need your desktop PC for anything.
