USB booting :: Frugal Install to a USB Compact Flash Drive



Hi,

I've been trying to do a frugal install of DSL to a compact flash card connected to the computer via a USB compact flash reader.  Then I want to put the CF in an IDE adapter and run DSL on my PC104 computer.  Anyhow, I use cfdisk to make a linux partition of the entire CF (primary, bootable) and everything works properly.  However when I run Frugal Install and enter the device name I get "Sorry the system has not detected a linux partition". It tells me to reboot and I do and still the same message. Any idea what is happening? Is there any other way I can get a bootable version of DSL on the CF?

Thanks!
