Sorry, I have not been clear enough. My concerns are mostly related to lack of system resources: flash memory for the filesystem and ram. I was pointing to the two problems together and to some hypothesis for the solutions. I know you meant to talk in a specific way (and in a broader sense) about software installation on different storage media. Anyway, It is possible to install software on the MMC. A clean and easy way to do this is IMHO necessary. Regards, Sted P.S. Try the swapfile, it makes this tiny wonderful device a lot more powerful.
