Great ! peewee runs on my embedded PC card :-)

Thank you very much for you help, Mark.

I've unsuccessfully tried with 500kB as Free space on ramdisk. Unsucces=
sfully
with 50kB.

Then I've successfully tried with "Read-write root on a single partitio=
n".

What is the consequence of this "Read-write root on a single partition"=
 option ?
My PC card will run slowly ?

Now, I will try to re-configure peewee for this specific card (Ethernet=
 ...).
Presently, it's only a copy of the "minimal" configuration.

With only 3712 kB, you're definitely not going to want a ramdisk with 2000 kB
free.  Try
changing it to 500 kB.

If that doesn't work you may want to try changing your target to "Read-write
root on a
single partition".  This option will not use any ramdisks -- your root
filesystem will be
on the hard drive, rather than in RAM.
