(...) It appears to me that 2 GiB seems not enough room for a full DE. Besides, there are flash memory inherent write limits, that you will reach very quickly if you plan to give it a normal use. I would consider using an external USB hard disk (if space/weight is a concern, there are very compact devices available in the market), instead of a flash based one which means more room for your system, no write cycle limits and more speed :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
