I'm using a 512MB SD card, and I'm not aware of a specific size limit other than general kernel limits (which IIRC are 4 terabyte), but I make no guarantees about that. As far as I know the Sharp kernel is your only choice for SD cards. There are now MMC cards with 512MB and maybe more. I've successfully run a KDE desktop including Konqueror on a SL-C750 by simply apt-getting it, the startup takes ages but it's usable once things are loaded (on a 64MB RAM model, don't try this with 32MB). It's not really useful as an organizer when running Debian though :-( -Klaus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
