That's what I suspected...

Yes : astlinux-trunk-1540.tar.gz

How do I do this?
- gunzip astlinux-trunk-1540.tar.gz > /dev/sdd?
or
- use fdisk to create a FAT16 partition (what size?) on the CF card, create 
a partition called /os, and then copy all the files found in 
astlinux-trunk-1540.tar.gz?

If the latter, doesn't the CF card need a bootloader? Do I need to use 
fdisk to set the FAT16 partition as active/bootable?

What should I change in this file before copying it to the CF card?

=========
[EMAIL PROTECTED] astlinux-trunk-1540]$ cat astlinux-trunk-1540.run.conf
# Kernel command line
