What he said. If the idea is to boot from a system on a USB key, where's your swap partition going to be?
I found out when I tried to put a Win-XP VM on a 16 GB USB key just how slow those are compared with ordinary disk access. I mean, I already knew that, but it wasn't really obvious just *how* bad it was until I could see controls and buttons on an application getting drawn one at a time.
Check info on embeded systems. From what I have read the usb stick or cf card holds your 'system' but boots up running in ram, and the swap is setup as a ramdisk. Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
