I don't see why you would just ignore the capacity built into the machine, and use only the SD card.
I tested this out in a VM because I don't like pulling numbers out of the air. Downloaded the 32bit minimal PC install here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD#A32-bit_PC_.28x86.29 I set the partions as follows: 8GB disk as / 1GB of the SD card as Swap. The rest of the SD card as /home When Asked about packages I selected "Basic Ubuntu Server" . So I would get as simple an install as possible. Once it installed and booted up I installed the bare essentials for regular web use. sudo apt-get install gdm xfce4 firefox And that left me with only 1.9GB used on the 8GB drive. http://i.imgur.com/DqqzGeq.png On Tue, Dec 31, 2013 at 8:30 PM, Bill Rayment <bill.raym...@applitec.net>wrote: > I suggest you install your Linux on the 32 gig card and boot from it. > I have done this a number of times and it works well. > Actually you may need to use a much less version of Linux as there is > some problems with the CPU ageing. > I currently have 2 EEEPC using EasyPeasy. > I can't quite remember but I think you can go into the Bios and get the > machine to boot from the SD card. > > Bill Rayment > Applitec Systems Inc > 1 403 630 4848 > > > _______________________________________________ > clug-talk mailing list > clug-talk@clug.ca > http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca > Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) > **Please remove these lines when replying >
