1 Gigabyte SD card "full" after 467 MB

[Russ]

This is not a Linux specific problem. The exact same thing happened to 
me with both of my 1gig SD cards (2 different brand names) and I am 
running WinXP.

This idea of a root directory limit sounds plausible though. I am going 
to look into that. Fill it up (seemingly half full), create a folder and 
see if I can stuff more into that, hmmm.
