I have an old COMPAQ IA1 (Msn Companion - Internet Appliance).
It have a compact flash reader inside.
I want to install DSL on a compact flash card, but I haven't found a guide to do it.
Isn't a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it??

I've tried to launch DSL Live and at boot time write the "install" option and then tried the frugal install, but it required a partion of my HD? Can't write directly on the CF??

I've forgot to say that on my PC i haven't an Compact Flash-Ide adaptor, but I have only a Compact Flash-Usb reader.

While on my IA1 the compact flash reader is inside.. (I've installed Midori Linux with a .img file, but I don't like it and it doesn't support my Usb wifi)
