Hi Erich,
I've sent this box back to the user. Not having all the hardware
available that I did when I first built the boxes was a problem...
specifically, no Linux laptop with PCMCIA. Finally pulled a Knoppix ISO
and got an XP laptop going off the CD-ROM drive (note to anyone that
cares, an

and a $10 CF card toda

Hi,
I am running a number of boxes for years from CF and PCMCIA flash and
