Just for my education I reduced the main partition on the 4gb boot CF to 512 mb as you suggested. Then the syslinux from the mtools.lrp package on my Leaf/Soekris 4801 box was able to make the CF bootable as you said. > Still looking foward how to make use of the remaining 3GB :) I'm sure you know this, but again for my remedial education I made a second DOS partition with the remaining space. It was accessible from within Leaf by mounting /dev/sda5. All this can be avoided by making the entire 4gb CompactFlash a dos32 partition and using syslinux on another Linux machine (64 bit Fedora 14 in my case) to make it bootable. Still not sure why the Leaf syslinux is limited to 512 mb, but I have exhausted my scientific curiosity :-) Tim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
