HD Install :: Howto Install DSL on a Compact Flash
Hello all,
I'm just wondering if it is possible to install DSL on a Compact Flash SBC mainboard.
Thanks
Hello,
Of course.
A Compact Flash Card is handled like a normal HD.
Mind your Diskspace.
How does one proceed? I have a machine here that can write CF's and a (small) box that will be running of the CF.
Can I write the ISO-image to the CF, or should I proceed some other way to prepare the CF?
For running from a CF, you will want to do a frugal install.
use the "dsl install" cheatcode and choose Frugal install and follow the prompts.
or, if you are already in X, Apps >> Tools >> Frugal Install.
-J.P.
But how do I do this on a system that ONLY has a CF as 'hard drive'? 
I a way that I can prepare a CF on a non DSL-system (Windows or Linux) and then I want to be able to insert that CF in the new system and boot from it... 
Possible?
