Hey that's me. I run two notebooks on CF and two old deskops. That is why I put together and keep enhancing Frugal. That's what I use to install to CF with all the custom options I want. And running DSL on CF via IDE is so much faster than USB. Hard drives are great for storing DATA.i've bought myself an old laptop too 200mhz, 32mbram.
DSL works great! and very fast!!!!hmm i might have to try this on that old p1-100mhz with no cdrom.
instead of having to swap out the hdd into another laptop every time i need to upgrade/install something.Nice idea, but remember: CF cards have a finite number of read/write. I am don't remember how many it is, I suggest you Google it.About 10,000, I believe. That's why you should *never* put a swap partition on a CF card, or it'll be dead within the hour.Next Page...
