Hentges Rom For Spitz

[HoloVector]

Something like this was discussed elsewhere, but I couldn't find it.

Is it possible to put a hentges opie image on the fash on a 3100 in the same way that itis done on a 1000?  I thought it might be fun to have a simple opie pda setup on flash and a more desktoppish thing on the hd, or sd.  especially if one could keep /home on the hd and altboot to the sd or boot direct from the flash.

or has this been done and turned out less exciting than it sounds?

You could do that, but flash is a lot slower as the microdrive.

ah... but one might have 3 flavors on tap at once:)  flash & altboot to sd & altboot to hd (though this might complicate the home thing)

I've heard the speed thing argued both ways.  My experience shows little difference in daily use. what about power consumption?  might there be savings using flash?

you can create the loop filesystems on the microdrive and boot off those. i tried bootstrap to boot oz, then altboot to select between hentges-opie-rootfs, hentges-gpe-rootfs and pdaxrom-rootfs all located on the third partition of the microdrive (first partition being the default rootfs for bootstrap, second partition being /home and third partition being /media/hdd. just needs a little mod to the altboot scripts to pick up the third partition on the microdrive.

Oh that sounds interesting!  Will you be documenting it on your site?  I'd love to try that.

Yeah... doing it all off hd occurred to me after I posted.  Glad to hear you ave it worked out, though-- simplifies my setup
