How did you install CM 6 without a recovery? Yes, ROM Manager will allow you to do that...though I prefer SPR personally.

i mean i have Clockwork recovery, and i used ROM manager to install Cyanogen, but now i cant boot back into recovery. using rom manager, it goes to the motorola logo sits a minute then reboots back to the motorola logo then loads up cyanogen

Have you tried to boot to recovery manually (power up while holding x)? What are you trying to do exactly?

Yes, ALWAYS make a backup before installing anything so you always have it to go back to. The difference with SPR is that you need to manually move each file from download to the SD card root with a file manager (Astro, Androzip, Root Explorer, etc) and rename it to "update.zip" before installing. Its really easy though its a couple more steps involved. I have never once had an issue using this method though.

Being curious -- how did you get CW working? If flashing between SPR and CW do not work restoring an older version of CW seems to resolve.

+1 For SPRecovery. It has never left me down either.
