Flash is getting cheaper and there are now devices which have enough flash to install a full blown Debian to it. My question is how to change partman to support installations to flash. Under Linux, MTD is used to access flash: it provides both a block and char device of the device. A file system like JFFS is normally used. MTD doesn't have traditional partitions like disks; in terms of the installer, we should probably just take the existing partitions that are recognized by the kernel (i.e. you cannot delete or create partitions, or resize them).
How can this be handled in partman? -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
