I believe it's a binary file system image, which you should be able to test by mounting it via a loop-back device. Note that AFAIK, being a binary filesystem image doesn't mean you can't copy it to a partition. Copying it to flash, however, is another story. What kind of flash are you talking about? If this is an embedded system, you have to compile things like pointers to the flash memory into the device driver so the system knows how to talk to it, and get your flash programmed somehow. If you're talking about one of the flash cards that does disk emulation (ie: CF card or similar), I think you can just copy the image over (ie: dd if=image.cramfs of=/dev/hda1). - -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCuWfKLywbqEHdNFwRAuqyAJ9RExra5Grtn1RtBNZb9Qt+HWmnxACcDmoL hx1l4qYq64TioZVoCEbt7uk= =K5Ky -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
