If you have another Linux machine equipped with a CF reader seen as, say, /dev/sdc, you can insert the card in it, issue (as root): dd if=/dev/sdc of=/tmp/image; sync Then remove the original, mount the new card, and issue: dd if=/tmp/image of=/dev/sdc; sync Alternatively, _if_ all the partitions on the CF card are mounted R/O, you can "dd" over the network from a live Astlinux box. At the console of the second machine you can issue (supposing that Astlinux lives on a box with IP address 192.168.1.3): ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "dd if=/dev/sda" >/tmp/image Password: (enter Astlinux' root password here) sync This will execute "dd" on the Astlinux box, sending the content of /dev/sda to stdout, intercepted by the SSH remote execution and redirected to the file /tmp/image of the local machine (in the same format as the geni586.img file in the distribution).
