Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Loop device and memory question?
« on: April 15, 2004, 09:35:39 am »
As a newbie I have 2 questions
1 At the moment I have OZ 3.3.5 and a 43MB loop device on my sd card which works fine.
How do I mount this automaticly during startup? At the moment I have an entry in /etc/fstab like this
/mnt/card/loop/part /mnt/loop ext2 defaults,loop 0,0
which mount the part file on /mnt/loop fine, however it cannot be mounted on startup as the sd card is not mounted using the fstab (I guess)
If I do this after startup I have to restart opie so it can find the applications installed on there, is there an easier way?
2 Memory, at the moment I have a 32/32 mb layout, but what does that mean? I can install apps in /mnt/ram but does that mean I have less ram to run apps in? Or if /mnt/ram is full, do I still have 32MB ram free to run apps in?
