Following up on my own post, I dd'd the image of a fresh runnix setup from a 1GB cf to a file. I don't keep many small CF cards around. Only the first 128MB is used and the file compresses nicely to 3.8MB. I'm not sure how well it would work if you dd it to a smaller device (I'm guessing it should actually work since the stuff that matters is at the beginning of the device) Give it a try and let me know if it works. http://www.djhsolutions.com/astlinux/runnix.img.gz Darrick -- Darrick Hartman DJH Solutions, LLC http://www.djhsolutions.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
