I would like to start playing with Mer, so I have a few questions toward that goal.
1. I just got to the point where I cloned Maemo from the internal flash to my freshly partitioned internal CF. I partitioned into 256MB (vfat), 2 768MB ext3 and the rest (220MB) as swap. Does Mer play nicely on a partition of the internal CF? I read through the install instructions and didn't see any reference to running it this way, the ones I saw involved flashing the device. Maybe I missed something?
2. What is the minimum comfortable space one should use for a Mer install?
3. Will software in the Maemo repos work with Mer?

The flashing method is experimental, the "normal" method involves running from an sd card.
Here are the installation instructions
You must use Mer bootmenu, other bootmenus may seriously harm your Mer installation.
it seems like both bootmeus has become incompatible with each other, use one for mer the other for clonetosd. One won't boot the other.If I want to use mer I have to install mer's bootmenu and to use my clonetosd I have to install pb's bootmenu. I finally realise that after recloning at least three times thinking the clonetosd went bad. Turned out it was just the bootmenu. Now why not just have one bootmenu to boot them all?
