Since the compact flash cards are cheap, you may wish to buy a second on to
use as a backup O/S. Accidents do happen.

Subject: [DuoList] Update on my PB2400c CompactFlash boot drive
adventure(was Hard drive spin-up problem)
Greetings. Thanks for all the assistance I received on my adventure
adding a 1GB CompactFlash card as a boot drive on my PowerBook 2400c
(180MHz 603e/80MB RAM/Mac OS 8.6/ORiNOCO Gold wireless card). I decided
to erase my 1GB hard drive entirely, and it is currently serving mainly
as a storage drive. I will probably reinstall a fresh OS and apps at some
point, to have a backup. But it is kind of cool currently running the
'book off CF! I have dedicated 160MB of the card to Virtual Memory, but
feel I still have plenty of space for my routine activities. I may just
load-up the hard drive with mp3s. I can have all my key apps (IE, iTunes,
IM, Word, and Accordance) open at once. I don't really notice any speed
improvement on OS or application launch. But once open, everything feels
pretty snappy. I am now looking into seeing what else I can trim from the
system to speed-up booting and processing (e.g., extra fonts, QuickTime
components, switching to Audion as someone suggested, etc.).
