In fact it's right at double when you compare apples to apples. HDS has
the lowest cost 7.2k 1TB and 2TB drives at Newegg. The 2TB model is
slightly more than double the price.

I have a compact flash card I'm experimenting with that goes into an embedded
system. In the future I'll be working with more CF cards and I know I won't
always know the size of the card ahead of time. I'm working on a Perl program
so I can put the CF card in and the program will partition it,

terminal succeeds.

# setterm -half-bright off

"No big deal", but how can I stop such dimming?
All I know is the second line is from /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init,
