[Soekris] Choosing Compact flash (Was: Memory upgrade)

[Pontus Pihlgren]

Hi All!

Thanks to everyone who answered in the "Memory upgrade" thread. I ended 
up going for the net5501-60, your answers and a bit of counting showed 
that 256MB probably is quite enough.

Now it's time to choose a CF card. I'm considering either 2 GB or 4 GB. 
I'll try to run vanilla OpenBSD, so I expect at least 1 GB to be 
necessary for the base install. What are your experience? Is it nice to 
have the extra headroom the 4GB gives?

Also, how important is speed? I think a read speed of 20 MB/s is quite 
sufficient, no?

Thanks,
Pontus.
