[Arm-dev] Server ready

[Jiri Kastner]

once upon a time, when started armhfp bootstrapping for f15, i had only ac100 with 512m.
lot of builds failed due small swap on emmc.
problems gone when i used usb drive and moved there whole root and created big enough swap.

anyway using emmc for swap is not good idea from long-term perspective

Thanks, Jim.  I did get GNURadio to build, by putting 4GB of swap on the 
eMMC.  Although swap on iscsi sounds cool, and is definitely creative!

C7 with 4GB of swap feels much more responsive, even when not heavily 
loaded, for some reason.  I'm just needing to get some of the GUI pieces 
of EPEL built (wxPython and its deps, for one) before I can go to 
production with these little devices (targeted to be RFI sniffers for a 
radio astronomy observatory using the cheap RTL-SDR dongles made by 
outfits like Nooelec).
