It's may possible to fit it in depending on other software, sure, and certainly not everything has to be on the on-board flash, just everything in the default install. Also, my particular piece of software I was thinking of currently depends on pygnome as well and not merely Python. :] > > I'll probably install python too, via BT-PAN or GPRS, but I don't expect > > it to be in there by default. > > Can I ask you why not via install it via USB (Network or USB flash stick) or > from a microSD card (1GB starts at 16 Euro, 2GB at 46 Euro), why via GPRS? The method is of no consequence really, I merely mentioned it on the side because Jose said earlier "Considering that Neo1973 doesn't have WiFi, I can't image clients downloading python-runtime by apt using GPRS ;-)" (though I'm likely not a "client" he was talking about :). (Yes, we have affordable flat rate here.) USB-net, perhaps, if the default install will make USB-net easy. I have no motivation to tune USB networking. (With BT I will, however, tinker if FIC doesn't provide ready-made PAN support or somebody else doesn't beat me to it.) > Big flash on a PCB is quite expensive, why not live with having libs, > programms and data on the micro-SD? I don't see who was arguing against having libs, programs and data on the micro-SD. > Nokias 770 has 128 MB flash but only 64 RAM - when I could choose > I would take a Neo with 32 MB flash when it would have 256 MB RAM ;) Mmh, 64 MB RAM does seem a bit limiting, though it's an old generation already. (Ah well, I'm also not going for Nokia because of their love-hate-openness thing.) -- Mikko J Rauhala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> University of Helsinki _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
