if you don't use the ramdisk method you can get it to boot much quicker,
which apparently is what the original poster wanted.

CF works great for things like that. ON our embedded system, linux boots on
about 30 seconds. We store an image on the CF and load a ramdisk to run the
system. That way, if the power ever goes out, or the system gets turned of,
the image is not corrupted, and can be rebooted without any system
corruption.
With a little work, I trimmed down linux to under 3MB. With a LOT of work,
you should be able to get a system in under 1.44 MB, although for me, it was
useless...as it had nothing but the kernel.
good luck

Hi,
I'm interested in using CF with PeeWee in a car MP3 PC project. I was
thinking of using CF for the linux distribution so boot up would be quicker.
How fast is CF when booting up? Would it be quicker than a hard drive?
I would still have a hard drive in the system for MP3 storage, should I just
boot up from this and leave CF alone?
When people are talking about small linux distribution of PeeWee how small
can
I get it? I need to have MySQL and Perl installed - is this realistic in a
128MB card for example?
Many thanks in advance,
Paul Nuzzo
