I was going to split the install between the internal 512M disk and a 16GB sd card. Slack should run fine there, and it uses native sheeva code as far as I know. I need to get my diskless laptop going first, then sheeva when I get back.<br>

</div>Heh. Thanks for the offer -- although usually I try to keep my hands<br>
out of other people's systems ;-)<br>

</div>The power issues aside, wouldn't you need a small footprint Slackware OS?<br>
it's been a while since I tried to slim down a<br>
Slackware installation -- around version 8.1 -10 it used to be pretty<br>
easy since there were less packages, but there are many new packages since<br>
then and many of them depend on each other; so I'm not sure how easy it is<br>
to create a working slimmed down Slackware at the moment.<br>

</div>Mine arrived today. I've been checking to see Marvell are with getting<br>
the OpenRD support into the main line kernel; and I discovered what<br>
appears to be a fork:<br>
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/openrd/" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/openrd/</a><br>
<a href="http://groups.google.com/group/openrd" target="_blank">http://groups.google.com/group/openrd</a><br>
<a href="http://groups.google.com/group/openrd/browse_thread/thread/b4981ecb40628a00" target="_blank">http://groups.google.com/group/openrd/browse_thread/thread/b4981ecb40628a00</a><br>
<br>
The SheevaPlug support, AFAIK, came directly from Marvell and was<br>
always available from Marvell's git tree during development.<br>
I'll have to do a bit more digging around to find out why it's been<br>
forked. I hope that the development work does end up in the main line<br>
kernel otherwise these devices end up being a waste of money since the<br>
kernel patches become unmaintained.<br>
