Booting from Flash?

[Darren Humphrey]

I am having some success making a bootable livecd, but my ultimate goal is 
to boot from a compact flash card.

I found an article from someone who did it with knoppix:

Any ideas on how to do the same with Fedora?

My grub/lilo skills are a bit weak...

Thanks,

Darren Humphrey

AFAIK, anaconda doesn't support installation on a CF. However, if you
get a minimal package set installed on a CF adapter (that masks it as
ide), use clever mount options (minimise writes), I'm sure you can boot
off CF

A lot of these boards have an ide controller that use a cf as a disk.
However, a minimal package set will not be small...
