Well my application shouldn't be very big and I don't really need a lot of
features of Linux so if it works with 4Mb for a "light" Linux it should be
ok.
When I speak of "full embedded application" I mean that won't have NFS to
store the filesystem.
So if I understood correctly I will have to flash my linux image and the
filesystem.
So I need to have an idea of the size necessary to store a filesystem and a
linux image in Flash...


Thanks

Chris
