Hi all,
Excuse me, if i'm perhaps off-topic, but how-about flash-ide adapters, like currently on ebay (about 3 USD): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=167&item=5175353997&rd=1 ( or new: http://adis.ca/cfdisk.php )
AFAIK, even the bios thinks it's an IDE-device. no drivers needed. And compact-flash are upto 2GB. Not overwhelming large compared with regular drives, but a compact system should fit on it.

My system will boot to a flash if it has a bootable system on it. I found this by accident when I re-booted one time with the flash plugged in, I had a message that "no OS found" on the screen. Talk about panic. I thought something had happened to the system till I saw the drive plugged in. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
