Thin client, using the example I found:

I get several errors:

gunzip: Error inflating
Try device "/dev/hda". The images included the MBR, partition
table, and first partition. You need to write it to the beginning of
the disk (hda), not the beginning of the first partition (hda1).
OK I deleted the partition, reboot DSL, and followed your instruction.
This works somewhat better, but the same three errors appear. The boot
menu comes up, but there appear to be errors in the flash.
I am now wondering if the flash has a problem, though the curious thing
is I can install DSL to the SAME flash with no apparent problems.
I have some other thin clients coming, and one available with more
memory and a larger flash, so I may try the same on those to either
determine the problem or confuse me even more!
Thanks again for AstLinux - I have another machine up and running with
it and it works very well.

Well, sure enough, once I got it through my thick head, turns out the
flash is bad, or partially so, making it unusable.
With a good flash, all goes well and the installation is successful.
Question:
Since the install makes a 67 meg or so partition on a 256 Meg Flash, is
there any reason the remaining can't be used for the Keydisk?
I know all of this stuff has a limit on the number of writes, but isn't
that number quite large> If there is no swap, and little or no voice
mail, shouldn't it work just as well as a USB keydisk?
