Hi Gustavo,
I do think that support for this is needed.
Together with some control panel option to set a swap file on MMC (plus
some machinery to swapon/swappoff on insertion/extraction of MMC).
I have done this the dirty way (deleted the noexec in /etc/fstab and
swap(ed)on /media/mmc1/swapfile) but we need a comfortable way to set
these configurations and an installer that gives you the possibility to
install on MMC.
I don't get it, how swap is related to installing software on extra storage?
Sorry, I have not been clear enough.
My concerns are mostly related to lack of system resources: flash memory
for the filesystem and ram.
I was pointing to the two problems together and to some hypothesis for
the solutions.
I know you meant to talk in a specific way (and in a broader sense)
about software installation on different storage media.
Anyway, It is possible to install software on the MMC.
A clean and easy way to do this is IMHO necessary.

Sted
P.S.
Try the swapfile, it makes this tiny wonderful device a lot more powerful.
Also, I want to install software not only on MMC, but on network
shares and have them visible automatically. Imagine that I want my
"program-that-I-just-use-at-home" to be on a NFS/SMB share at home, so
when I connect it will be available. When I'm at work, it'll just
vanish and no space is wasted.
