This really is not a pf question. However you will find that CF looks
like an IDE HDD.
Just go ahead and install as if it was a hard disk.

No. Don't believe anybody that says you need to do special stuff with
CF. Some of us have tried, without success, to wear out a CF card.

If you want high reliability for many years either buy industrial grade
CF or throw them away after maybe a year. Throw them over here please
and I'll get another few years use out of them. :-))

A tip: In future you need to describe the hardware you have and what
you intend to use it for to get good answers. You have just used up all
of my mind-reading energy for about four weeks.....

Please reply only to the list. I can do without two copies of each
message.
