With the above steps, you can just run it like any other Linux setup.
Fine; would you run such as setup as a mailserver? Are there Linuces
that will perform write-cycle leveling? If I only need a few hundred
MB to operate, I can throw in a 32GB CF card and be very happy if the
system performs leveling.
If CF cards don't perform leveling themselves, is there a gizmo that
can be installed between the CF card and the IDE interface that will
do the block remapping?
Sorry for the stream of questions, but my only hands-on design
experience has been with traditional "dumb naked" flash. I simply
don't know how "smart" CF cards are.
