using 256M - doesnt use it much but it currently just plays videos on |
| 60 |
framebuffer. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Be careful using ext file systems and stock 4G cards - runs out of |
| 63 |
inodes on large compiles. I installed from a gentoo image off the net |
| 64 |
and rebuilt it. When I get time I'll do my own from scratch but its |
| 65 |
working ... |
