I would like to start playing with Mer, so I have a few questions toward that goal.

1. I just got to the point where I cloned Maemo from the internal flash to my freshly partitioned internal CF. I partitioned into 256MB (vfat), 2 768MB ext3 and the rest (220MB) as swap. Does Mer play nicely on a partition of the internal CF? I read through the install instructions and didn't see any reference to running it this way, the ones I saw involved flashing the device. Maybe I missed something?

2. What is the minimum comfortable space one should use for a Mer install?

3. Will software in the Maemo repos work with Mer?

Thanks,
