Well, I've heard otherwise. Use jffs2 or the CF card will wear out |

I should have been more specific on my questions. When using 'fdisk' |
| 25 |
to format the CF card: In section 4d of the handbook, I do not see |
| 26 |
a 'mkjffs2fs' command. So I'm confused as to how you put the jffs2 |
| 27 |
file system on a partition. |
