Other Help Topics :: image for a cf card

Does anyone have a bootable image for a cfcard? Try as I might i can't seem to make on correctly. I am trying to boot my new system I built with a few parts I bought from the mini-itx store! <wink , donation , wink>
thanks in advance

Describe what you have done so far. For me the easiect way was to start with the live CD, boot with the boot line commands dsl norestore base
When you get to the desktop, right click on it and choose tools, installs, Frugal Grub install.

I typically just place the CF into the CF-IDE adaptor and make that the primary drive (hda) into any old white box pc. Boot from DSL cdrom using the install option.

boot: install

Then from the menu select:

5. Frugal Lilo Compact Flash Install

Then the CF/IDE can be booted from this PC or moved into another PC or even with the right adaptor used in a laptop to replace the laptop hardrive.

thanks for the fast responses. I have tried to do the frugal install from the live cd inside dsl and that didnt work for some reason. let me try the two ways you both have described and I will get back to ya.

well it seems that dsl hangs when probing my extra SATA drive, it finds the onboard controller fine and finds all the other ide devices but it hangs on hdf.

Is ther a way to tell it not to probe SATA? like "dsl no{hdf} or something like that?

on a side note it will install if i doo the no hardware detection but then my usb card reader wont show up

sorry for the confusion. this is when i am booting from liveCD, not the mini-itx system i am trying to get set up
