Erik is also reading this list, so I assume he simply didn't recognize
your mail. Normally the busybox guys are very friendly and helpful people
:-)

You should give it a try. Btw: full glibc is about 100 MB (what it
generates if you 'make install'). Taking just the relevant parts should
bring it down to about 1 MB.

You would at least have a stable system, which is very helpful in case of
corrupt data :-) But having a journalling fs is surely no bad idea.

Should work - ext3 is ext2 plus the journal.

So why don't you just make one large database at the central server and
transmit the data to it via your wireless connection? That would also let
you live without a harddisk at all, which is generally a good idea for
mobile devices.

Good luck...
