Well actually it all fitted in the 2Gb it has.  To get 10.04 installed
initially I had just installed the Ubuntu Server 'base system', i.e. no
GUI, no LAMP servers, just the real basics.  That fits in a bit less
than 1GB.  I then installed all the bits required to build owfs and that
took it to about 1.5Gb.

I have a 1Gb SD card plugged into it, just in case!

I have four or five xubuntu 10.04 PCs, however all except the eeePc are
64-bit so cross compiling is a bit complex.

Anyway it's sorted now and I'm up and running.
