Let me elaborate. I thought Steve was concerned about the limited
writablity of flash.
My thought was to build something like a Linux router, you'd have to load
the OS into a RAMdisk (or something similar), and only write to flash when
the config changed. Which means you'd need some sort of singular
configuration file.
But I was wrong. :) He meant "read-only"
