installing debian on a CF card.

["Peter Easthope" <peter@easthope.ca>]

Hi,

Debian on a CF is an interesting possibility.
http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/75-debian/53-debian-server-compact-flash
My objective is to replace a failed hdd in an Armada laptop
with a CF.

I tried the base installation with jessie images running
under QEMU.  Tried current CD and netinst images.
The base installation fails with messages visible in /var/log/syslog.

debootstrap: /var/cache/apt/archives/dmidecode_2.12-3_i386.deb
debootstrap: /var/cache/apt/archives/traceroute_1%3a2.0.20-2+b1_i386.deb

Reference: http://easthope.ca/DebootstrapFailure.jpg

Has anyone tried this method of installation?
The problem here is with the *.deb repository?
QEMU configuration?

Thanks,                 ... Peter E.
