hmmm.
On my ee701 (4Gb SSD), I had used a 8Gb SD card for most of f12, then
f14. It worked well enough. WIth f17, I jumped to a 16Gb SD; it was a
cheap one and perhaps that is why it failed in constant use? My layout
has /boot, /var, and swap on the SSD and everything else on the SD
card. This time I am going to set it so that I fit everything on the
SSD drive; that is going to be quite a slimmed down install. Instead of
a 1.5Gb swap (1Gb memory). I will go with something just over 1Gb so
hopefully hibernate still works. But perhaps again for what I use it
for, a 5Gb swap is ok and forget hibernate all together as suspend does
work.
