Description: automates use of a flash disk as the root filesystem
Flashybrid is a system to help in setting up and managing hybrid
flash/disk/ram based Debian systems which can run most of the time
using only a small flash disk for their root filesystem and do a useful,
but limited task (such as being a router, or a PDA, or a rescue system
on a USB keydrive). The flash can be as small as 32 mb, though 64 to 256
mb is more comfortable.
.
To use this package, you will need a 2.4 or greater version of the Linux
kernel, with tmpfs support built in.

When such a system needs to be upgraded or managed, or if you need a
full-fledged Debian system temporarily, a flashybrid system converts
quickly from an embedded system into a larger, normal Debian system.
.
Flashybrid supports systems with a supplimental hard disk that holds the
parts of Debian that cannot fit on flash. It can also support larger
flash-based systems with no supplimental hard disk. It makes it easy
to mount a flash disk read-only, to avoid excessive writes to the flash,
by storing the volatile parts in a ram disk and rsyncing them back to the
flash at shutdown.
