Hi all

I have a few questions to solve for for having a fully working Familiar and
be able to do rsync.
This is my 2nd post and I hope I will get some answers.
During the last couple of days I saw many questions regarding memory
management, CF memory, etc. So I believe that my dummies questions may help
others now or later (I am planning to write a wiki section "Familiar for
Dummies" wich may help complete newbie - no iPAQbackground, no Linux
background - like me ;) and bring my piece of stone to the whole building.

Q1:I have a brand new compactFlash module memory + CF expansion kit.
I want to mount the CF memory module.
Which of the ipkg pakages should I install to have the support of the CF
expansion kit. pcmcia-cs ? pcmcia-modules-2.4.3-rmk2-np1 ? Both ?
Once the ipkg pakage of the kit installed, is there any thing I have to do
for having it taking in account by the system ???

Q2: What should I do to be able to use the CF memory ? I know that I have to
fdisk and
format it in a way Linux can use it but how can I do that ? How can I mount
it in a way it will be mount automatiquely if present at each boot start.

Q3: I have try to have some system utilities -fdisk, format-
I have install the util-linux ipkg package where they were suppose to be
but I still don't have them on the ipaq. What can I do ? Where can I get
them ?

Thanks in advance for answering thoses questions that puzzle me for a while
now.

Cheers

Jean-Luc
