I followed this process (though the page's layout is broken in IE8/PC which makes it somewhat difficult to read without viewing the source). I don't believe it tells you manually to visit the setup page twice. The one issue while I was using the setup page was that the HTTP redirect, which is meant to forward you back to the setup page once the box has rebooted, redirected too early, so I got a page not found. I clicked back, and then clicked the Finish button. When I now visit the setup page, I have the following on-screen: "This AstLinux System has been successfully setup." Any ideas? I am happy to start again from scratch if that will help, but as I mentioned, I don't think I have successfully returned this CF card to its factory state - some guidance on that might help me to progress.
