I've made quite a bit of progress today by switching to the Waysmall. I've built a new kernel with buildroot that has ext2 and ext3 in it, built a new root filesystem with Ruby, Python, microperl and e2fsprogs in it (yes ... it still fits in 16 MB, although Python is huge and will probably get dumped since I don't know it anyhow). I formatted the MMC card with ext2, so now I have a GB of space for software -- all I need to do is copy stuff over there and put the right directories in the PATH. > --- > ken > > > > >> If all else fails, I have a Waysmall too with an MMC card.
