Yes, right. At the recent outdoor contest, Martin and I had just gotten
the Mini-ITX working. At that time it was booting from an 800MB laptop
hard drive. Now it's booting from a 1GB CF card and we eliminated the
hard drive, saving a lot of battery power.
The next step is getting a proper, embedded Linux setup installed. We've
been running an old Redhat 9 desktop distro which isn't exactly optimal
for use on a Robot (or from a CF card). :)
