I bought another nslu2 yesterday, and a 4GB USB flash drive. Absolute disaster; every combination I tried ended up failing, usually while installing the base system. Fiddled with the etch RC2 installer, armel installer, automatic vs manual partitioning, etc.
Today I threw out the memory stick (it was a "PQI u230") and replaced it with a 2GB "Corsair Flash Voyager" which had good reviews for speed and reliability. Worked like a charm on the first try. I did pre-partition and format the USB stick on a desktop Linux computer first, giving 256MB to swap and the rest as an ext3 partition. Probably would have worked fine letting the installer do this, but but I wanted to minimize the number of things that could go wrong. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
