 > Impact will be greater if internal SD is raised to 8GB.
 I've been using an 8GB internal micro-SD for a while now.  'fs-update'
 works fine with the non-qualified .zd file.  [It creates an approximately
 4GB partition on the micro-SD card.  I don't currently care about the lost
 space.]

 When I first started experimenting with the 8GB micro-SD, I wiped it clean
 an used 'fdisk' (and 'mkfs') to put an approximately 8GB empty partition
 on it.  I then did 'fs-update' (with the build that was then current) to
 an external non-micro SD card, and used 'rsync' to copy that external card
 content onto the micro-SD card.  The XO-1.5 booted fine (and ran fine)
 from the build sitting in the 8GB partition on the micro-SD card.
