I've got an 8GB SD card, I would think that a 2 GB root, 1 GB additional storage, 1 GB swap would perform well. Is there an xo-to-disk.sh script similar to the various transformation scripts described in http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/rawhide-xo/ ? If not, is http://wiki.laptop.org/go/How_to_backup_your_XO the best way to save my precious 8.2.1 image? <clueless musing> It seems build engineers go to a a lot of effort to create multiple ginormous downloads in .img/.usb/.iso/.bootable.gz formats when they're 99% the same files laid out in different file system(s) with appropriate boot, config, and partition info. Could some day a tool like LiveUSB Creator download only updated files from the net and create whatever image,read-only CD, or bootable/writable USB the user wants? That may be ambitious, but it seems much like what Linux graphical installers do. </clueless> -- =S Page _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
