Here is a simpler condensed one...
gunzip -c yadda | dd of=/dev/(device) bs=16k
the bs switch will let you define block size and is very useful when
dealing with cf cards to eliminate the additional writes done in dd'ing
(it will also write to the cf faster)

Step 2?
2. On Linux or *BSD use dd to transfer the image to the CF card. (gunzip
the image, then dd if=astlinux-XXX.img of=/dev/sdX where sdX is your
compact flash card).

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 pr
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
