>What kind did you use (size and brand).
-Own brand, we get  a chipset from sandisk and 
place if friendly on a small PCB. 4MBytes so far.
Should work with 8 and 16 MB also.

- fdisk a small DOS partition to it.
Install syslinux which loads the kernel and a 
ramdisk image, perfect for me as there is no 
power off problem.

-Bug between LinuX and SanDisk:
-No SanDisk and IDE on same controller under LinuX.
