    Ok, the E220 has an internal memory in CDFS format. I'm using it with Mac OS X. I'd like to:
    1. Find out how big the internal memory is
    2. Reformat it as FAT32
    3. Put some fricken tiny Linux distro on instead


    Possible?

    Probably.

    1. AFAIK it's 10mb

    As for the other 2 questions I don't know the answer. It's certainly capable of being rewritten as I've put the Huawei, the voda the and the three Austria software onto it to see oif any of them work better than the three ireland version. (mobile partner seemed to work the best btw, but it might have been a purely pshycological difference)

    Fat16 would be more efficent or even Floppy type format (FAT12?). You really only want Fat32 for > 2GByte drives. NTFS is best, but it has a 21Mbyte to 50Mbyte overhead, so not for small storage devices.

    I only want it to run a basic bash terminal, for system failure help.. My /bin folder on OS X is 7.6M so it should fit..
