Hi guys, I have done a grub_frugal install to the hard drive on my thinkpad 600e. Worked great. I used clivesay pdf. I now want to do it on a compact flash memory card. I have purchased a ide2compactflash adapter for my laptop. I have several cpf cards around as I take a lot of digital pictures. I have both 1g and 2g. When I did the install on the hard drive I had 6g to fool with so I didn't have to consider sizes. Since my Pad also has bios APM so I am going to need a dos partition for the hibernation file. I want to use the toram feature and have 294m of ram. Here are my questions.
How large should the partion that holds the image be? 64m enough? I would like to keep it small as I can and it will still work.
I will need at least 294m for the hibernation file and would like to have enough for the dos bios program. So I am looking at maybe 300m.
How large should the swap be? The old rule of thumb was ram X 2. Would that still apply with a frugal toram install?
The rest would be used for data. I am thinking of using a 2g CPF card.
Any thoughts, comment or ideas?
