FreeBSD's embedded agenda

[Olivier Gautherot]

Poul-Henning, I got your point. I'll put together a summary of today's
discussions and a couple of ideas I have to define a list of requirements and
give a direction to the design. I've worked on a (simplistic) Flash file system
in the past and will include this experience too. I'll copy you on tyhe doc to
raise a red flag in case I head in a bad direction ;-)

Cheers
  Olivier
