Does anyone have LEAF images that can be 'dd' onto a CF card? What size ones are needed ?
I'm looking to have a LEAF box running Quagga (the forked version of Zebra), and CF would be a lot nicer than a floppy.
Typically, you don't 'dd' an image onto a CF card. You would normally treat the CF card as a hard-disk. Once you partition & format a suitable area of the CF card, you can copy the syslinux boot-loader and the files that make up the LEAF distribution you want to use.
If you're not real familiar with using CF cards, you may want to get plain 'ole DOS booting off of it first, to make sure you've properly formatted your CF card, configured your BIOS, etc. Then you can get LEAF running, and you can be pretty sure any problems you encounter need to be solved on the linux side.
Normally, the main thing you'll need to tweak is the kernel command line (to tell LEAF where to find it's packages, since you're not booting off the floppy disk), and possibly load the proper drivers for your CF card (typically just the IDE drivers, if they're not compiled into the kernel). The instruction for installing your chosen LEAF varient (I suggest Bering) on a hard-disk are a good starting point, and you can post to the list if you run into any problems.
