Artoo Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 I wonna buy a SDHC card to boot an alternative OS from (Ubuntu... or variant), because I don't want to wipe my HD so... Will it be enough if I buy one with these specs : http://sandisk.com/Products/Item(2201)-SDS...mance_Card.aspx It's a 4GB SDHC Ultra II, with read/write spead : 15MB/s I think it's fast enough, what do you guys think??

Make sure that the system you're buying it for can boot from SDHC before buying. Quote
Artoo Posted December 8, 2008 Author Posted December 8, 2008 yeah I know, I'm sure the EeePC 701 can boot a SDHC card :) If not, tell me :P Quote
geekdba Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 yeah I know, I'm sure the EeePC 701 can boot a SDHC card :) If not, tell me :P I have BT3 on a sdhc 4gb and my eee701 boots fine off that Quote
Neinsager Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Hell build in some 16G and a 8G SD card and readers internally in my EeePc 701 4G and installed Ubuntu-eee over the standaard 4G solidstate and the 16G SD card (the "./" on the 4G solidstate and the "/home" (noted installed no swap space) on the 16G SD card) this works just fine and gives me way more (harddisk) space. On the internally buid 8G SD card i got BT3 and that boots and runs all so just fine. If you want a fast running (installed OS) on your SD card just do not go for the cheap one's. Gerard Quote

Gerard are you using a swap file instead? Quote
Artoo Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 I have BT3 on a sdhc 4gb and my eee701 boots fine off that Planning to test that as well ;) Idd, I chose one, which is not to slow (read/write speed)... Quote
Neinsager Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 are you using a swap file instead? Nope just no swap file or space on the solid state HD or on any of the SD cards. All the swapping is done on/with the 2Gig off mem. Gerard Quote
