Re: [Ltsp-discuss] More info on the mini-itx on compact flash

[Chris Welsh]

Cliff,

I've checked around and believe compact flash to be cheaper than usb flash. My local linux store sells it too, so I'll support them by grabbing some and play. Not sure if you discussed this, but when it became time to upgrade/patch , how were you going to reflash large numbers of thin clients?

We actually tried using a usb mini disk but I think bios is looking for a dos partition to boot from. The compact flash can be bought for about 28
bucks now and the adapter for 17. I would venture to say it is just as cheap
if not cheaper to go with the compact flash.

Great article.

Sorry if this has been discussed in previous posts, but had you looked into USB 2 flash to do the job. I know you can get ones that enable linux to boot from (not sure if those great little VIA mother boards will). Is the flash you are using cheeper that usb memory?

Part of a article I am currently writing about some of this
is at http://www.airrun.net/enterprisedesk.html . I will warn you ahead

of

time it is not completely gone through and many spelling and grammer
mistakes need to be made yet. Please do not share this link with anyone

yet

as it is not really a finished product. I intend to submit it to OSDN

and

some of the other sites when finished, perhaps tomorrow afternoon. It

is

also a very long read and needs to be broken up into logical sections.

can you make a mini howto on this? I am looking
forward on using old hard drives to boot 386 machines
with no PCI cards and my last attepmt at booting linux

from them was just a mess 8)

Actually I think that it could be squeezed into a
16MB card if I worked at
it a little.
