I've had great success with setting up a VMWare system with a virtual IDE drive the same size (or slightly smaller than) the CF cards I have in stock, configuring everything there, and then using 'dd' to copy the whole thing to a CF card via a USB-CF adapter. Just need to make sure the OS you set up will run on a 586, and you can make as many copies as you want. On Linux, there's a few things you need to do after it first boots on the new system, like remove the persistent ethernet mappings so they re-build, but otherwise it make for a very clean way to build up multiple similar/identical systems.
