[Voyage-linux] Beginner's questions

[(spam-protected)]

Hi - I'm just starting getting into Voyage-Linus on a net4801 board. The
board hasn't arrived yet but I have uploaded CL image to the CompactFlash
card and I'm waiting to go.

I copied the image with physidskwrite.exe. No formating of the CF was
done, I prweume this was not necessary, but does it mean that the CF
memory is not acessible to me when the system is running?

I have been concerned about the lifetime of CF. Does VL run form the CF or
does it copy to a RamDisk and run form there?

The purpose is to run my home automation under Java from this device,
which I already do - either from a Java embedded device or a PC. One gives
me a compact solution and the other the power. I'm hoping that the new
setup will give both.

Ta,
Eddie.
