Hi,

256 MB generally appears to be the smallest size available for retail,
see for example:

But here they even sell 32 MB:

[I just can't help wondering where those cards come from..]

By the way, assuming that you are going to load the image into RAM and
run everything from there: you don't need to use a Sandisk or any other
expensive state-of-the-art industrial-grade brand CF card. Read speed is
generally not a huge issue at boot time.

I've tried out various cheapos and I've been using Dane-Elec cards for
over a year now with frequent data updates and no problems whatsoever.
Write speed is acceptable. Prices are modest.

Not all CF brands appear to work well on a Soekris box, you will have to
check the archives for trouble with specific brands. I don't use 2.5"
drives, so I don't know how well the CF cards I use work together with
those.

As for the overkill: try find a brand new 10 GB hardisk..
