It happens. It took me a while to work it out as well. The image you want is http://www.djhsolutions.com/astlinux/astlinux-0.6.1-net5501.img.gz. This *includes* runnix and is designed to be written to a CF card. The ISO image is designed as a bootable CDROM, which isn't what you want.
Once you have your CF card installed with runnix, you will only need to download http://www.djhsolutions.com/astlinux/astlinux-0.6.x-net5501.tar.gz in the future. This will contain the .run files needed.
