Successfully installed full archlinux 2010-05.iso into 16GB CF card.
Install includes full kde4, vlc, gparted, firefox and a raid array access to other CF cards.
The CF card is in an adapter...sata to CF.. and runs on 5volt floppy-type connector.
The system boots to kde4 desktop in ~19 seconds. Reboot time to shut down is somewhat slow..45 secs.
System setup uses 16GB CF card adata speedy 533x with an hdparm time of 62mb/s.
The install includes a 256MB swap partition which I may remove.
System installed is x86_64 with latest 32 kernel.
There are four partitions provided. With kde4 installed, 3.8GB of free space is available in root partition of a max of 7GB.
Performance is lively so far. Will trim kde packages to reduce root size.
Pacman 4. is installed as well.
As usual, I am running as root, a tacit no-no!!
An experiment in progress................
Prediction...This year will be a very odd year!

When ALL is lost, what can be found? Even bytes get lonely for a little bit! X-ray confirms Iam spineless!

Swap partition on a CF doesn't sound good but I'm out of the loop w/ the current state of things + you may never actually need it so it won't hurt you.

I think you mean 3.4.
