[Peeweelinux] development configuration

[Ralph Stickley]

I think the wear factor is noticable only after about 10,000 write
cycles.  I also beleive that some CF controllers do wear leveling
which may increase this "apparent" number of writes.

So, for datalogging small files - not a good idea.  For development
with 10 reloads a day you have a couple of years to go :)

Enjoy....
