As the manufacturers point out, 10,000 write cycles (basically the minimum) means you can overwrite the flash once per day for 27 years. That's a lot of IO for a soekris. > second, I have no idea how to boot a Soekris box from install media. There > is no floppy, no CD... how do I acomplish this? Either netboot it, or buy a 600-in-1 usb adapter and install on a normal computer.
