Hi!

I'm starting from a blank compact flash; i remove all the partition and create
an empty new one on which I write the image.
As i said even the 1.01 start, but there isn't no free space left to create a
persistent storage partition (the image to write /
of 1.01 is 256mb); the strange think is 1.0 was smaller and 0.7 smallest.
In any version the Web interface report the primary partition as barely used
(about 13%), so why create a great  read-only
partition? I think a 100mb partition/image is enough. That would leave plenty
of space also on small CF.

Meanwhile how can I add to read-only partition the Asterisk sound? Actually it
can be saved and added only on persistent storage partition...

To Darrick: what issue can we have with a small compact flash?

Thanks
Antonio
New 4 GB cards cost 15-20 €, so why we discussing this here?

Couple of reasons.
Curiosity regarding the growth of the image
Some hardware that some choose to use won't even work with such a large flash, though most will with 1 or 2 G

Part of the challenge of using small machines is to keep them small, and reduce feature creep and bloat.

I would strongly urge someone doing a new installation to use a CF card
larger than 256MB.  It may be possible, but you might have issues in the
future.

Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] Installation on small compact flash

I am successfully using HP T5700/T5710 thinclient units with only  256MB mb
of Flash/256 MB RAM with Astlinux 1.01...
To bootstrap the whole thing, you need to start from scratch -- i.e. with a
zero'd out flash card.
I had some issues getting going with a non-zero'd card that were cured with a
"dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda"
Write the image to said zero'd card 256MB card and boot. It worked for me....

Not much space left when all said and done, but usable.

I'd imagine if you started from an existing install of 0.7.x you may not
have enough room get the whole thing going with an upgrade install.

Hi!
I'm trying to install astlinux on a small CF (256MB); i would like to use
it
also for Persistent Storage.
I can't create Persistent Storage partition with latest version because
after
writing the image there is no space left.
The web interface report the boot partition (that in read-only mode) used
at
19% (with 155.2M available); so why it was so big in the image?
(During the lastest version of astlinux the zip package remain of the same
size, but the image to write is getting bigger each time;
so i think the image it's getting bigger but  the difference contain no
data
at all.)

On the same subject, how could move asterisk sound into the read only
partition to free space in the Persistent Storage?

Thanks for your help.

Antonio
