Along the same lines, how can I copy the contents of the USB keydisk to a 2nd one of higher capacity?

Now that I've got OPT and some music on hold converted, I'm feeling a bit constrained by my 64 meg keydisk and want to swap over to my 256meg keydisk.

I only have one linux box, which is booting from the CF card.

If you have another Linux machine equipped with a CF reader seen as, say,
/dev/sdc, you can insert the card in it, issue (as root):

dd if=/dev/sdc of=/tmp/image; sync

Then remove the original, mount the new card, and issue:

dd if=/tmp/image of=/dev/sdc; sync

Alternatively, _if_ all the partitions on the CF card are mounted R/O, you
can "dd" over the network from a live Astlinux box. At the console of the
second machine you can issue (supposing that Astlinux lives on a box with IP
address 192.168.1.3 ):

ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "dd if=/dev/sda" >/tmp/image
Password: (enter Astlinux' root password here)
sync

This will execute "dd" on the Astlinux box, sending the content of /dev/sda
to stdout, intercepted by the SSH remote execution and redirected to the
file /tmp/image of the local machine (in the same format as the geni586.img
file in the distribution).
