One will be fine -- you can always meddle with dd seek and emulate having more if you're not directly mounting what's in there. You can meddle with the U-Boot env var to offset any mountable part and limit the length of it too, so you can actually make 3 parts from that one if we had to, the mountable bit in the middle. >> I dunno if you noticed but there is a 20s boot time target being talked >> about now.

That'd be great if you could find a way that didn't make some other pain - - it would definitely be better to not have to chop your main storage area into pieces. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHholwOjLpvpq7dMoRAm1vAJ9OTxcLv6uL1WkreH66osoMNsXJ3ACeMe6u As9Y7uibVmcp21Sz98zHBVU= =Jw9q -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
