the last time i wrote to cf (sandisk 256 mb) was when I installed 3.7 to a soekris (didn't dd an image, did a direct install via PXE). It was (subjectively) much quicker, the whole install (including typing) was about 20 mins. The whole install (base, etc, misc+ python) consumed about 130 mb. otoh, on a soekris the cf card is wd0, not sd*, so it may depend on your hardware, driver, etc. If you feel like someone should tell you more about this, give at least a dmesg, so people can see what you talk about. --knitti
