With all the talk about disabling the virtual memory (pre-install), I'd like to ask about re-enabling it (post-install). Are there any issues with doing this? Currently the mmc2 partition is only 120 MB, which leaves only a max of 112 MB selectable for virtual memory. Any reason why this wasn't made big enough to get the full 128 MB out of it? I see .apt-archive-cache in mmc2, does that mean if I enable virtual memory, I'm going to cause apt to freak out due to lack of available space?

Yet another question... How do you install applications that are counting on filling the "internal memory" card, rather than the flash? For example, the map program (i.e. Wayfinder). When you try to download a map, it just says sorry there isn't enough room! DOH!

Code:
mkdir /media/mmc3 chmod 777 /media/mmc3 chown user /media/mmc3 mv /media/mmc2/map /media/mmc3
Not sure what I'll do if I find another app that behaves the same...

I do not use the built in mapping prog, I use maemo mapper, so I really dont hit this issue. If you use install-tools-ad.tgz (advanced edition) it would allow you to specify the size of you fat partition (mmc1/mmc2) depending on which card your cloning.

I'm looking at getting an internal card solely for booting the OS from. Didn't want to make a new thread, but I know that somewhere there's a thread that details different types of cards, and says how well they do dual booting. I've spent ages looking and can't find it, so...
- Can someone direct me to the thread, or
- What cards do you recommend? Price and size doesn't matter (as long as it's >2gb), only speed and reliability matters.
Thanks.

That wasn't the thread I remembered (the one I remembered described in detail all different cards), but thanks anyway. I've decided to go with a 4gb Extreme III Sandisk, as I've had nothing but good experience from them with all kinds of formats. And, at £13.99 from play.com with a USB reader and soft carrying pouch, I feel it's a bargain!
