Hi
In my system I didn't bother with any of embedded file systems - I've
created 1 GB ext2 partition (journalising in ext3 increases read/write
count), and it worked just like any other hard drive. Bios detected
correct capacity - I was lucky with that, but in case where BIOS doesn't
detect C

Almost certainly not, I'd have thought. Aren't those boards just dumb

I have been following this thread intermittantly and have not seen a

I believe that writing a file to a single location is not the way to do

As a followup, I have actually written said script (in perl), and would welcome

Only thing I need to do now is run it for a long time... Unfort
