Entire Wikipedia Fits On An Sd

[geo12]

You can download a dump with just the page abstracts; that would be good enough for me.

(I landed in this topic from a recent post on the same subject)

Offline wikipedia with a fast searchable interface was in slashdot a few days ago (I'll post a link later).

I agree that the size retrictions are dire for SDs, so maybe the question is how to produce a nice
slice that fits in the available space?

Yes. And, it doesn't require decompressing, just breaking the bz2 file up into ten thousand different blocks.

Put it in a CramFS or similar image?

Or a more low-tech way of doing it would be to only include articles with good/featured status, or only include the ones tagged that they will be included on the Wikipedia CD Edition.

Well, like I have said in nearly every other one of these threads, could not the project @ http://encyclopodia.sourceforge.net/en/index.html be ported to (or used as a base for a new app) the gp2x? I'm damn sure if it will work on ipod-linux with 75mhz ARM9's, it will run on a GP2X

I don't want Wikipedia on my GP2X. It sounds more like a project for the next handheld (the one with keyboard and touchscreen).
