I followed the instructions here:
http://www.astlinux.org/node/44
And see no instruction to gunzip, but I have been known to misread!
Once it failed, I figured that out, but others attempting to follow the
excellent step by step instructions may not.
BTW - other than that, the rest of the process is unbelievably easy.
Even a caveman could do it.
So very much easier than even a year ago.
Great job!

John,
Were you not gunzip'ing the downloaded file? I updated the
instructions to make that clearer.

I attempted a new install today from the web page, and found I had to
change the procedure.
Hp Thin client 5720 with a 1 Gig flash
Boot with Damn Small Linux off a USB stick
Run fdisk to clear any partition
When I follow the procedure outlined on the Astlinux site, it fails
If instead, I gunzip -c astlinux-0.6.6-geni586.img.gz |dd of=/dev/hda
All goes as it should, then continue with the instructions and all is
well
Well, almost. That will be another e-mail
Are the instructions wrong, or am I doing something wrong?
