Yes, I've done that, it's pretty easy.   DL comes with a script that
will copy the ISO to a hard drive (or a CF drive, in your case).

If you rarely reboot your DL boxes, you might want to take a look at the
run-from-memory option.  It copies the CD image into memory during boot
(you obviously need extra memory).  That way the only time it uses the
CD drive is during boot, and you don't have to worry about a dirty CD
not reading correctly during daily operations.

As for saving the config, I NEVER use floppies any more.  I will only
use USB flash drives.  Much faster, more dependable, and almost as cheap
these days.
