Oops, I'm so late, forgot to scroll up and haven't seen yesterday's messages. ;) Duh!
Dmitry As far as I understand there is a 44 pin IDE connector on 4801. Let's say your primary card that you boot of and want to clone is in build-in compact flash socket and it is /dev/hda (primary/master). (I never had 4801, so I don't know for sure). So, using 44-pin IDE->Flash card adapter, connect a clean flash card to above mentioned 44-pin IDE secondary/master that will become /dev/hdc. Boot up of your master one, do "fdisk /dev/hdc", type "p" and look at partitions. If you formatted that card previously in Windows you should see at least one partition. That means that you connected everything right and the system can see the other card as /dev/hdc. Exit out of fdisk (type q) and enter "dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc". Then wait for about 3 minutes. "dd" is going to copy the first master card to your second new one byte by byte, so it's going to be the exact image. If you don't have a 44-pin IDE->flash card adapter (or for some reason don't wanna buy one ;), you can try a USB KeyDisk and make an image of the existing system with "dd if=/dev/had of=/mnt/kd/my_astlinux_image_0.00.1.img". Then connect this keydisk to any Linux machine with Compact Flash writer, mount keydisk and do the opposite dd. If you don't have Linux machine, try goggle it and you'll find a lot of dd for Windows with GUI and without. Good Luck.

I just want to clone the cf card to install it on a second board. Any simple solution to do that?
