When menu-/Xconfiguring the kernel and selecting an option you are particularly interested in, try the "help" button. It often helps, sometimes even with a web link to further documentation.

When your system is online you can simply write to a flash partition mounted to a directory whatever you want to write by copying it into that directory. > Any help is > welcome, also points to useful documentation on jffs. Use the help button when configuring your kernel. Regards, Thilo -- Thilo A.
