Re: newbie: dynamic partition creation possible

[Michael Palme <m.palme@goepel.com>]

thanks for the answer...

i am not sure about the terms, but i can explain what i need in more 
clear way: i would like to have support for writing binary images into 
the flash devices (no filesystem etc.). i need different "partitions" on 
the flash and i dont want to hardcode that --
i have seen in cmdline.c that this is possible via kernel parameters.
i'm not absolutely sure what kernel options are needed and what are 
unnecessary.

cheers ... Michael
