pulling out the card is impossible, i think its integrated in the mainboard.
but i got it done, after several times getting stuck on boot after installation... then erased everything on the MMC and let the graphical installer doing the partitioning smile

Howdy!

First, sorry for my bad english big_smile
Second, sorry for questions which might sound stupid for you^^

Im writing this post because some things made me unsure if things will work the way i want them to work...
I planned to install Devuan ASCII on my Acer Travelmate B117. Beside of a 2,5" HDD which is removable, the travelmate has a internal memory, which gparted is showing as a 58.24 GB big "dev/mmcblk0" device, with following partitions:
-mmcblk0p1 = 100MiB | EFI system partition | fat32
-mmcblk0p2 =  16MiB | Microsoft reserved partition | unknown
-mmcblk0p3 = 57.13GiB | Basic data partition (Windows) | ntfs
-mmcblk0p4 =   1GiB | Basic data partition (Recovery) | ntfs

Now the big question, if i format this "internal memorycard" and install Devuan on it, will it be bootable afterwards? Or do i have to format only p3 and p4, letting p1 and p2 untouched?

I am not familiar with this sort of diskspace, and dont want to break it down big_smile
Hopefully someone can give me a little advice.
The next step would be installing qTox and i2P...

big thanks & have a nice day smile
