Final question on this,
If I install my apps onto the CF card and later buy a SD card will I need to
install all the apps again to the SD card? I presume it would act similar to
having programs installed to the C: drive and then copying them to the D
drive and deleting from C, the shortcuts and reg entries would be wrong.
Does this theory apply to the PPC also?
