didn't look into it myself but I think if you find a way to bolt-on
unionFS (http://www.filesystems.org/project-unionfs.html) you can
achieve that - have a "base" system on built-in flash and the rest on SD
or whatever else you feel like. EeePC does that out-of-the box, and I
think it's a darn good idea - having stable OS underneath and having
easy roll-back plan (just wipe FS stacked on top of "base"). Good luck
with your search :)
