Moving on to a different brand 1 Gig card returns what seems correct with XXXXX records in, XXXXX records out. > then copy the 1615 run files [2] into your os > directory. > > Boot, without specifying your asturw partition in the KCMD line in the > XXX.run.conf file.

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.

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.
