That wasn't "no size restriction", that was "the size restriction of a floppy". Compact flash for instance is economic in sizes of a few tens of MB. There are many applications where you simply don't need a full system or the storage required to hold it, and systems without rotating storage can be a lot more reliable. -- Bob Bishop (0118) 977 4017 international code +44 118 rb@gid.co.uk fax (0118) 989 4254 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
