There are several manufacturers and the double density flash disks are now coming down in price so that this is a practical alternative. Various vendors include SanDisk, M-systems, and Smart Modular. The units emulate small IDE disks. As they are flash, there is an issue about writing to them too many times, so you don't wanna swap if you do this. Mounting the filesystems RO seems like the right thing to do. And because they're small, cramming a distribution into it is interesting.... Tony
