Probably easier to create your system with another tool and then simply decompress it onto flash. Most CF cards are removable, so you could even do this on a fast machine and you would only have to configure the packages on device. http://wiki.debian.org/Multistrap/Environment > We would like users to be able to make their own installation using > Debian installer and network. The majority of the installation will be the same for each user - it'll have to be Emdebian Grip, so the core package set doesn't change. It can take a LONG time to unpack all of the core packages each time - better to have the core packages pre-installed and then offer an optional set of packages. Maybe something like Apt-On-CD could create something you could put onto the CF. > Therefore a minimal installer should > reside on CF.

Are you planning on running from the CF card or is there secondary storage?
