First off, I would like to say excellent work to all the developers involved
in this amazing project. However, I have thought of something that has not
been addressed very much (maybe a few entries on the forums, sorry, am sorta
new here)
What I am thinking of is power management. For a Linux operating system to be
of any use on an iPod, it must be kept in mind that the battery capacity is
extremely limited, and it would only last 20-30 minutes if not plugged in
becuase the HD is always spinning. The Apple firmware keeps the HD spinning
for maybe a minute every hour while playing music, lowering the power
consumption a lot.
Perhaps it is possible to load the operating system on a ramdisk, and
mount/unmount the hard disk only when necessary? Are there any plans to
include such a feature in the future?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for interrupting if this is something that
already has been addressed.
