First you can't do a graphics install on this with F14, as it is really only 503Mb memory (Video is stealing that 8+Mb). So I either upgrade the memory (working on that) or do a text install and then install gnome later. Then 4Gb disk just does not cut it. So I have a 8Gb SD card and I partition as follows: On the SSD drive: A 200Mb ext3 /boot partition (for this system, I can't see any value of using ext4). A 1.5Gb swap partition. A ~2.2Gb ext3 /var/log partition (your most active system directory). On the SD card: An 8Gb LVM partition with a max sized / ext3 partition. Build a local f14 update repo and during the install point to it so after the install, you don't have to go and update everything you installed! Do it once. Also I have a local F14 base repo and I boot of CD 1 with the askmethod option so I can point to the local repo and install over the nextwork faster than reading from the USB CD drive. Hope this helps. I first had F12 on my Eeee, and recently moved ot F13. F14 is waiting for the memory boost. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
