Hi,

I use this on 35+ machines, it works like a charm. You should try the=20
install-on-usb script that comes with DL. (on my desktop system the script=
=20
doesn't work because it tries to copy grub to a temporarily mounted place a=
nd=20
run it from there)

If you can't get this to work, and if you have 512 MB CF cards, I can send =
you=20
a dd image. Or make it available for download.

Basically, all you need is:
install grub on the CF card,
copy bootcd.iso, DEVIL-LINUX and LICENSE to it
copy a /boot to it, with all the stuff a normal GRUB system has.

Have a nice day,
