Re: [tlug] Linux appliance deal

Thanks for the tips.  I was able to install Debian Lenny on the CF

(ext2) by sourcing several blogs and the official wiki.  I went with a
pretty standard base install with some fstab edits, mostly from
http://www.chrissearle.org/node/283

|#proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0 #<-This produces a mount error in Debian Lenny

There were a few other non-critical errors due to missing directories
like /var/log/apt etc. which I may fix later with some startup scripts.
I haven't tested audio since I've disabled it in the bios but everything
else is working fine out of the box.

Nice! That was fast :)
