Hi,
I have a 2GB CompactFlash connected via a IDE-Adapter to the standard IDE-Connector of my Neoware ThinClient.
Which *.iso would be the best to install DSL. The CF is recognized as a harddrive (/dev/hda). I also have a CD-Drive
connected to install DSL on the CF.
Is there a Link of some kind, or even a HOWTO to accomplish my task?

peace,

sparks61

Frugal install is best for CF device.
Grub or lilo is up to you.
Grub is better if many boot option changes are necessary.
Lilo is better, IMO, for applicance type devices, simply because it is more difficult to change boot options.
Both of these frugal installs are simple and are on the menu.
You do need to learn the DSL way to add/save extensions and backups.
