Hi Kourosh, coming back on a list entry of a few months ago... Can you elaborate a bit more on how exactly yo copy the CD to CompactFlash? I can think of something like:
Partition CF using standard tools in two efs2 partitions, say sda1 and sda2 (small for the config). Then tar | untar (or just cp???) all files on the CD to CF Install GRUB and edit a menu.lst file (sda must be hda in most cases) Did I omit something?
