Debian's never struck me as a distribution for embedded systems or for installation on a flash disk. Last I looked, the base installation of Debian (nothing pulled from tasksel or dselect) was over 16 megs, I don't see that as feasible for a flash disk based system. While I'm a big fan of Debian as a whole, this seems a bit like forcing a square peg into a round hole. Could Debian be made to work in the proposed situation? Without a doubt. Would it be the easiest or best solution, doubtful. -- Jamin W. Collins -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
