I want to setup DSL on a 64 MB DiskOnChip/DiskOnModule.
How to partition that device? (not the Linux howto but how many MB for boot/home/swap?)
Any other helpfull hints!

Thanks
Achim

Your setup boot/home/swap sounds like a traditional hard drive install. I would not recommend that as your flash device won't last long becuase of its limited write capability. Instead, with only 64MB, I would do a frugal install. There are scripts for such while running from the liveCD with device as hda. Boot DSL like this:

boot: install

This will display an installation menu.

You will need to read the forums and wiki on frugal type installs.
I have several machines running DSL in just such a fashion.

Dose this work on a DiskOnChip/DiskOnModule as well?
and
How to make settings (X-Server, resolution, IP, printer, ...) on a frugal install permanent?
