I'd like to run linux on my ia-1, with a little breathing room left for extra stuff. What size flash would you guys recommend? I've seen 128MB CF's for < $50 on ebay, and 256 < $100.

Also, would using the CF a lot, would this in anyway damage the CF?

Thanks!

- you can run the hacked jailbait using the external CF - AFAIK it will *only* work w/a 16MB CF (Sandisk preferred)

- much better is to just use a 32MB CF formatted DOS bootable, with dolly.exe and the latest internal jailbait image - then use dolly.exe to flash the internal 16MB to wipe out CE (don't save a copy if you don't intend to use CE; otherwise, use dolly.exe to save a copy of the internal filesystem onto the 32MB flash, shutdown, copy the image off, copy the newer jailbait image on and then reboot w/the CF and flash linux onto the internal CF - this will leave the external CF slot free)
