I'm just uploading some new images to my website. Some of these are the regular 'runnix' files where the tar ball contains the appropriate astlinux-XXX.run, run.conf etc files and some are complete images that you can simply dd to a new CF. The complete images have a naming convention of cf-0.6-XXXX-ARCH.img.gz
SO, if you are starting out fresh and do not have a CF prepared with runnix, do the following: 1). Download the cf-0.6-XXXX-ARCH.img.gz file 2). gunzip the file so you are left with a cf-0.6-XXXX-ARCH.img file 3). Using dd on Linux (or *BSD) or physdiskwrite on Windows transfer the files to your CF card. These images will write a 128MB vfat partition containing everything you need to boot up to astlinux. 4). Insert the CF into your target device and boot. 5). After booting, login as root (pass astlinux). 6). Create a new partition for unionfs (fdisk /dev/hdX, n, p, 2 ...) 7). Type "sync" which should allow the new partition to be seen. If not, reboot, relogin then continue with 8. 8). Run 'genunion /dev/hdX2' which will create the file system, copy files and set the file system label to ASTURW for that partition. 9). Reboot and enjoy your system. If you already have your CF setup, you'll want to continue downloading the astlinux-0.6-XXXX-ARCH.tar.gz files, expanding those and copying the files to the 'os' directory. I've tested the net5501 files. The others should work as well.
