I think it's time we put an lguest kernel in flash, and show the world how free software does virtualization.
This is a much simpler task than putting (e.g.) kvm in flash, as the helper for kvm (qemu) is pretty heavy: close to 4MB, whereas the lguest program which runs guests is a mere (!) 600K. And, unless we care about windows (I don't), we don't really need what kvm does.
But we're going to need 2 mbyte flash parts. I need a little guidance here, probably from Ward. I want to buy a kick-ass(TM) mainboard which runs LB, is supported by buildrom, and will support 2MB flash parts. I want to buy the package from (e.g.) newegg. This will be a wiki entry when I'm done.
So: - what board? - where do I buy the flash parts - I need a nice quiet case. Any suggestions? - I assume just about any old disk will do. - any favorite video card? Cheap is better.
thanks
