That is a large flash.  How do you do updates?  You treat it like a
regular file system like a standard install of Linux?

Basically when I do mine I start with a kernel and glibc.  I then add
components as needed and write replacement pieces.  Of course I'm not
building a one off.  I tend to write this for install base of 1000's.  I
look at it like I would a Cisco router.  I take their embedded ideas and
apply those to my own device but I use Linux.  For example /etc/passwd
does not exist in my box.  /etc is not really used :). Config is one
flash and in shared memory, etc.
