Hi, another and maybe easier way is to boot from SD card. As a bonus, you'll get faster booting with a fast SD card. Search www.internettablettalk.com or the wiki on maemo.org for instructions on how to boot from SD card. Regards, Martin 2009/3/9, Dmitry S. Makovey : > Peter Flynn wrote: >> I

Fred C, re your comment "...with more core memory." Where can I get some of that? The long boot time of windows XP, and, for that matter Vista, explains why Microsoft is racing to get Windows 7 out the door to "fix" that Achilles heel vs Linux. Microsoft are only too a
