I don't know if you can boot from CDROM, because this is a custom special-purpose board, not a small PC, so the BIOS may or may not have the support code for that. If your needs are modest, e.g. a classic embedded application such as a firewall, then I'd buy a small CF card and just use that: find or build a suitable image on a PC or a Mac, then write the image to the CF card from there. There are some ready-made Soekris CF images for certain applications, e.g. the PfSense firewall at http://www.pfsense.com , and the Asterisk PBX at http://www.astlinux.org . I did find a site with lots of general-purpose CF images on it, but I've lost the URL now ;-) Some excellent HOWTO information site (covering Soekris booting, building embedded images etc) can be found here: http://www.ultradesic.com/index.php?section=21 Just be patient as the site seems to be running a little slowly at the moment. Have fun. - Martin. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
