Well, I've heard otherwise. Use jffs2 or the CF card will wear out prematurely....... I should have been more specific on my questions. When using 'fdisk' to format the CF card: In section 4d of the handbook, I do not see a 'mkjffs2fs' command. So I'm confused as to how you put the jffs2 file system on a partition. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
