Now you have me puzzled.
I have formatted my SD cards as ext3 (for ubuntu, Mandriva and fedora)
all 4GB cards. While for the puppy the first 200meg, formatted fat32,
contains the puppy system while the remaining 800meg (of a 1GB) card
(formatted ext3) - don't ask me why, I just let it do it's own thing.
So on the eee901;
/home on the solid state 16GB (default for the xandros) and '/' in ext3
on the 4GB card.
The Puppy can, of course, read the /home area but it's default user
space is on the 1GB card.
