http://www.sandisk.com/industrial/cf-specs.asp they claim 3M hours MTBF and 2M cycles. just take a 256 mb card, do a standard install and make the same modifictions as done in flashdist (tmp, var is mfs, some /dev things are on mfs) and you can mount the cf card r/o. you can link -s /var/db/packages (which is in mfs) back to the installed /var/db in the cf card, and can use pkg_* tools to install additional stuff after mount -o rw,noatime / . after everthing is done mount -o ro /, voila, you got a very easy maintainable and long lasting system. sync your logs to the cf card every day, do this with spamdb too, if you like, it should work. --knitti
