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 using the current jessie CD
image running under QEMU. Also tried the netinst image. 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 involves the *.deb repository? QEMU configuration? Thanks, ... Peter E.
