Well, that sort-of depends on which 'embedded' board you're talking about really. And the trade-off between the work needed for a hacked-up 1 off, the space that could be saved by doing this, and the space that could be saved elsewhere. Perhaps on the embedded_in_my_fridge machine it might make sense, but not ever embedded device is quite so tiny and strapped for space. -- Tom Rini http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/
