Not willing just yet to try that on my RevC board. I am new to Linux and the flash seems to be a device like the SD card but I ask the experts here. By the way increasing the size of the image to use all of the 4GB SD card also solved my issue with booting as a standalone system and having the browser crash , it was running out of space we now know was the problem.
