Although I haven't used the CF slot on a printer to write the m0n0 image either, I've seen how they work for other tasks. The printer is USB-connected, and the card slots on the printer look just like any other CF reader would. As a removable disk on Windows, or as /dev/sda... on linux. Should work the same, using physdiskwrite or dd to the /dev/sda.

But I also don't think I've ever heard of anybody using the CF slot on a printer. I'm not familiar with how those work vs. the normal CF writers the rest of us use, that might be a problem. I don't know the answer to most of your comments, but the only time I've ever seen or heard of read errors on Soekris boards are from writing it wrong, like using /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda, or a CF card that the Soekris boards just don't like. They're pickier than most external card writers, cameras, and other devices that use CF. Use a good quality card like a Sandisk and that shouldn't be an issue. They have all kinds of problems with cheap and no-name CF cards. -Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: m0n0wall dash unsubscribe at lists dot m0n0 dot ch For additional commands, e-mail: m0n0wall dash help at lists dot m0n0 dot ch ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't pick lemons.
