One more note on the currently posted cf-XXX image files.  They all have 
the KCMD variable 'noram' set.  This was forces the astlinux image to 
remain mounted in loopback mode and not copy the files to system ram.

This was not intentional on my part, but is easy to fix.

mount -o remount,rw /oldroot/cdrom (in this case, this is still mounted 
but as read-only).

edit the astlinux-0.6-XXX.run.conf file and remove the 'noram' variable.

reboot.

Also, if you have have a system with low ram, you can add 'noram' to the 
KCMD line and force a system with 256mb or more to keep the astlinux os 
mounted loopback (so it doesn't use system ram).  If you are on a system 
with less than 200mb ram, astlinux will force noram, even if it's not set.
