Onyx, modification of the frugal script worked for me. Maybe due to lack of knowledge I was braver than I should have been, but looking at the script I couldn't see why it shouldn't work with necessary tweaking - To make the script for all combinations - well that would be another story. I don't have my script with me (else I would pass it on).
In my setup, I booted livecd from my desktop with a usb-cf reader. I changed frugal script to allow reference to sda as opposed to hda.
Then further down the script where is sets up lilo etc. I changed the two refences to original hda and hda1 to hdc and hdc1 (as my CF card is seen as secondary master on Embedded system. If this is not done, the system will be configured to expect sda and sda1. Not to specific I know, but hope it helps.
cbagger01, I have formatted several different manufacturers cards with ext2 and so far okay, but of course this is no gaurantee. Personally I would prefer to have kept dos partition as it makes it easier for work in the field (I have never gotten linux to work on my tablet pc - DSL neither). But as mentioned, it didn't appear that vfat was avail on live cd (I need to look again). One problem I have picked up is that one of my embedded pc's won't recognize the ext2 formatted CF cards.
