Fred, A quick runnix guide: http://www.astlinux.org/node/28
If you are using a CF card, Darrick graciously posted a 1G CF runnix image: http://www.djhsolutions.com/astlinux/runnix.img.gz Using a OS X host, I use... where diskN is a mounted CF card. (Be very careful!) gzcat runnix.img.gz | dd of=/dev/diskN bs=16k I have also used this image on 512M CF cards, it just ends early. This process does take a few minutes. Now, you have a CF card with a FAT16 partition that will mount almost anywhere. Copy the build files onto the "os" directory, edit the run.conf file, good to go. When booted on your target machine, you can use fdisk in AstLinux to create asturw and astkd partitions.
