Interestingly, a 256Mb Kodak brand CF card, clean, returns the error 
from dd of no space left on drive, yet the partition table appears OK 
with ( from memory ) 129 M VFAT  and 128 M free space.

Moving on to a different brand 1 Gig card returns what seems correct 
with XXXXX records in, XXXXX records out.

Left the XXX.run.conf unedited.

Curiously - " the device apparently does not exist - did you specify it 
correctly"
Then Filesystem Created
!!!
DUH - failed to create partition 2

Created the partition and things looked better

I read in other postings that the partition need not be formatted. Correct??

Modified file -
pbx os # cat astlinux-trunk-1615.run.conf
# Kernel command line
KCMD="root=/dev/ram0 rw init=/linuxrc astlinux=geni586 
astimg=astlinux-trunk-1615.run astrw=/dev/hda2 astlive ide=nodma"
# Offset for root filesystem
# OFFSET="32256"
# location of kernel binary inside root (include mountpoint)
KERN="/mnt/root/boot/bzImage"
# root fs type
FSTYPE="squashfs"
# initrd location relative to runnix /
INITRD="/mnt/base/os/initrd.img"

Still no joy

pbx ~ # mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on /oldroot type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /oldroot/cdrom type vfat 
(ro,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1)
/dev/loop0 on / type squashfs (ro)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
none on /var type tmpfs (rw)
none on /tmp type tmpfs (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)

I have a runnix headache!
This was attempted on an HP t5520 ( 800 Mhz CPU with 128 Meg Ram )  
retrofitted with a Wintec 1 GB CF card and adapter, though I have seen 
similar results with other HP Thin Clients

The good news is that the older non-runnix method and AstLinux 0.4.8 
seems to work fine

Thanks for all your efforts.
