That is an option. > What purpose will it serve? Right now geekness factor.

You could also install grub on the CF as well as a USB ready kernel and just use /dev/sda1 as your root. Chroot is an option, but natively would be cooler :-) I'm currently interested in DSL, as it should be quite simple to modify. It just uses a floppy image, which is easy to emulate on these. -Brian _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
