Hi, It seems to me that with 8M you could keep your kernel, your encryption keys, your encryption engine, along with filesystem hashes on it. If they could get this up to 16M+ you could probably put a bootable image on it, make the system come up much quicker. Now if it only had a pull-tab ala Dune...maybe we'll get lucky and the battery will be accessible. ____________________________________________________________________ Before a larger group can see the virtue of an idea, a smaller group must first understand it.
