Hi Roberto,
Oh man that would be awesome if I could try your image. My 7200 has CF, not SD though, wonder if that will be an issue? Do you happen to have a web-server somewhere I could just wget this from?
Have yet to flash the device, need to find a procedure for that. I'm very nervous about bricking!
Curious as to why you went with a journaling filesystem on a flash card? From what I've read there's 3 times the writes per write-cycle, which kills the card quicker. I THINK this may be why they chose ext2 in the first place, from what I've read.
Thanks Roberto!
