The work-around was to create a diskimage "dd if=/dev/zero of=img10MB >bs=1k count=10000", format it "/sbin/mkfs.msdos img10MB", install syslinux "syslinux >img10MB", copy it to the laptop, and write it to the CF using PhyDiskWrite (free >download).
It might be esier to buy a USB CF writer and connect it to your development system. That's at least how I create my CF's for the WRAP board. cheers Erich THINK Püntenstrasse 39 8143 Stallikon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Fingerprint: BC9A 25BC 3954 3BC8 C024 8D8A B7D4 FF9D 05B8 0A16 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
