As an aside, Steve, I'm also on the lkml, and discussions there have indicated 
that ext2 on a flash is known to be murder on the flash.  Read-only would be 
an excellent idea, but I don't know if that actually stops ext2's 
housekeeping.  I'd assume it does, but the life of the flash would tell the 
tale I expect.

How did you do that, in fstab?
