storage and Java

Two questions

  • I tried to install the JDK ARM package under the Debian install. I had one other program installed and ran out of room on the eMMC. I’m removing that one other program and trying again. Is it worth it or is this 2GB not enough

What is a better storage alternative? Is it possible to boot off the 16 GB micro SD card and ignore the eMMC? Is the Micro SD card only for flash or can it be used as a secondary drive?

Thanks! This machine may be too small for what I’m asking it to do.

Why are you installing the full JDK, that includes the compiler and all the
related tools. You only need the JRE to run Java code and that is much
smaller.

You can always add a USB memory stick to add "disk" space.

Thanks. I think this will be on eBay soon. Not powerful enough for what I’m doing. A USB drive hanging off an already crouded hub is not going to work.
