What about on the GTA01? The biggest I have tried so far is 2 gig
because I wasn't sure if SDHC was working.

That sounds like a good idea. Is anybody doing that successfully?
What I do is mount it at /usr. So when upgrading the phone image I
first have to
cp -a /usr/* /media/card/
then change fstab to mount the card on /usr at the next boot. (Of
course I formatted it ext3, not to have the FAT limitations.) But to
have only the files that you actually modified would save some space.
