I have a couple of questions on cloning on my N810 with a 16GB external card.

Partitioning best practices
  1. I generally run Linux on everything that I hook the NIT up to. All of my home systems run Debian. do I really need to create FAT32 partitions?
  2. Since the internal RAM is 256 MB, is 512MB sufficient? Or should I take half of the internal card?
  3. This is what I was planning for the cards:
    • /dev/mmcblk0p1 - 512MB - Clone of internal flash
    • /dev/mmcblk0p2 - 1GB - Reserved for playing with kde or other OSes
    • /dev/mmcblk0p2 - 512MB - Experimenting with other OSes
    • /dev/mmcblk1p1 - 256MB - Swap
    • /dev/mmcblk1p2 - remainder - data storage

Do these numbers make sense?

Thanks,
