I've been looking into squeezing everything into a 1GB internal flash install, and noticed something interesting about the Ubuntu configuration that's been developed for the Joggler. On 'this wiki page' (https://www.jogglerwiki.com/wiki/Ubuntu_Internal_emmc) it states that > It will run a read-only root fs with a volatile rw-system overlaid > allowing most apps to function normally whilst preventing ware on the > flash memory and allowing the system to be powered off at any time > without risk of filesystem corruption.

This seems like it offers all the benefits of TinyCore's ram-based approach. I'm not sure how this approach works with, say, saving user choices/configurations in JiveLite, but I aim to investigate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110040 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
