I haven't tried this with limey linux, but, I put a fixed-size flash image on larger CF cards all the time....I currently use 1GB kingston CF cards. They're about the smallest/cheapest I can get new. The linux image I'm using is a custom configured OpenWRT image that is roughly 64MB in size. I primarily use pcengines ALIX boards....I'm just now starting to try them with app_rpt....So far, so good! 73, David KB4FXC On Fri, 17 Oct 2008, Stephen Rodgers wrote:
Randy,
The big question is can you DD a 128mb image to a 512MB CF device and still have it work? I've never tried this, but conceivably it should work. I have initialized 512MB CF devices with make cf and it does work for the 512MB Sandisk CF device I have.

Times they are a changing. Got a box lying around needing something to do. Thought I'd start another Limey Linux install for it. Wouldn't you know, the smallest CF card at Fry's was 4GB. I did find a 1GB CF at Sam's Club ($15 US). Turns out I had a 512MB card stuck in one of my laptops, so I'll swap that with the 1GB card. Still a lot of overkill but what do you do? ;-)
