    I use a CF card to PCMCIA adapter to work with the card in a machine 
(Laptop preferably, but you can get PCMCIA/CF card docks for desktops.). 
I have used the GNU fdisk util or the disk util with Mac OS X (yeah, a 
linux guy that likes Macs) to partition the flash into pieces and then 
put things on them. Hope that helps!


    Thanks for the root filesystem creation tips!! They are great, and 
give me ALOT more than I had to go on before.
