Most of our experience with compact flash is with an ide adaptor. Therefore the cf looks like a regular hard drive. Since cf has limited write cycles, it is not a good idea to do a hard drive install to cf. Frugal is based on the work of Terry Gray, University of Washington, article building a silent PC. You can google it to see more. Frugal is enhanced to support many boot options for DSL and building non-interactive start-up appliances. Frugal is part of the main DSL distribution.
If you are going to use USB, then you must treat the cf as if it were a pendrive, and use the frgual_usb package. Note that the frugal_usb requires DSL v0.8.x and does do a download of
a small package and a special boot floppy image to create the image. John, had good sucess using a USB reader with cf. I have not personally tried it.

First off, I would like to know, what CF cards and USB readers are best to install DSL to? What size should I get? (What is the price range?)
