Craigs sd card image as beginners startup download.


If selling pandora preloaded with an SD card, then please setup a swap partition on that card. Running firefox can be quite resource intensive, and oom-killer killing firefox while you show it to friends isn't good. This happens only when you show-off, because suddenly you start talking about everything and open more tabs, and pandora needs more memory than usual.


In fact the default startup wizard, should offer setting up a swap partition in a manner "please insert an SD card, it will be reformatted" / "two partitions will be created, a swap partition, and a data partition, which filesystem do you want for data partition: ext2/ext3/fat16 ?". "Remember that you cannot pull-off an SD card with swap partition on it, you must turn off pandora first". Then just format, and you're done. Oom-killer will not interrupt you anymore.
