Am I the only one who is a little concerned that all the filesystems on pdaXrom are RW, plus I\'m running as root which is always a recipe for disaster (or accidental erasure of /bin)
Has anyone used a normal user accout, does everything still run ok?
I am also a little concerned that there is too much flash activity in the internal memory, I want the longest life possible for my Z, any ideas on that? I was thinking of moving temp files to my MMC card, are there any issues? I\'d rather wear down replaceable memory than the precious internal memory, if that starts dying, my Z would become a paperweight.
I would really like to know if I can set mine up to be read-only, with the majority of read-write operations being done on external memory. Madness?
I know ScottYellich raised the question of flash wearing back in December, esp in regard to on-board compilation, if you\'re reading, I\'d like your opinion.
I remember hearing or reading that flash blocks are only good upto about 100,000 re-writes, that worries me.
Or am I being paranoid?
Also, I noticed pdaXrom crawls along and is much slower than X/Qt, is that right? Instead of a second or two to open the wordprocessor as in Qtopia, it\'s now a 30 second wait for Abiword and xPDF is sooo slow I can\'t really get any practical use from it. Would a swap disk help?
I want to install some apps to my 512MB CF card, no joy, it\'s FAT and I can\'t install apps to it, making it ext2 leads to a card running 10 TIMES slower! Using async makes no difference. If I connect to my PC as a USB drive, copying MP3/Ogg files takes longer to copy 1 file than it did a whole album before.
I must be doing something wrong.
Help!
