Hi,

I've been planning on installing netBSD on my MobilePro 770. I am
planning to buy a CF card, but I am having trouble finding info on the
needed size. Due to limited funds I've been looking at a 64MB CF card.
But I am unsure whether this will be sufficient. I've seen, in the "User
How-To", this:

"base+kern+etc with delete large unuse files"

What sort of system would this be? IOW given a typical user what
tools/userspace etc. (X?)

Does the manufacturer of the CF card matter? (Installation failures
etc.)

Sorry if this is a common question.
