I have absolutely no knowledge of flash memory lifetime apart from what I read on the web, but I suspect it may be longer than my remaining span. So, apart from setting atime when partitioning with d-i and leaving enough space for the electrons to move about in, I'd advise - install and be damned. Flash memory is cheap; Debian is priceless. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
