Lonnie Thanks for the precious infos, but you're using MacOSX and I'm using Linux CentOS so there are differences, and I also have a question below about how/whether to put a bootloader on the CF card.
Here's what I understood I should do: ========= 1. Download Darrick's Runnix image # wget http://www.djhsolutions.com/astlinux/runnix.img.gz 2. Using fdisk, delete all partitions on the CF card, and create a 128MB FAT16 partition +128M ; t 6; a to make active/bootable ; w to write 3. Copy runnix.img.gz to the CF card: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# gzcat runnix.img.gz | dd of=/dev/sdd1 bs=16k -bash: gzcat: command not found 0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes (0 B) copied, 2.7798e-05 seconds, 0.0 kB/s So I tried this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# gunzip -c runnix.img.gz > /dev/sdd1 bs=16k gunzip: stdout: No space left on device ^C So I tried this next: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# gunzip -c runnix.img.gz | dd of=/dev/sdd1 bs=16k dd: writing `/dev/sdd1': No space left on device ^C ========= Obviously, I'm doing it wrong :-/ An extra question for good measure: When dd'ing an image to /dev/sdd instead of /dev/sdd1, does it mean that the CF card has no bootloader, so that the single partition must be bootable/active for the BIOS to use it? Otherwise, where is the bootloader? Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
