I use HP Thin Clients, and some time ago moved to either 512 or 1 Gig flash
drives
I don't use a CF card, but a replacement plug in from Transcend that is a
direct plug in replacement for any of the 55XX or 57XX Thin Clients
The cost is similar, as one has to find a CF adapter, make sure it fits ( some
need slight modification ) then a CF card. A Transcend flash comes in close in
cost, and always fits and works.
256 flash is just too small for newer versions of AstLinux, though I believe
transcend still makes them. The cost difference is slight
I have some thin clients with only 128M of ram, and for light duty that works
well. Some of the older thin clients can't expand the ram.
Astlinux is great, with constant improvements. I just hope "feature creep"
doesn't set in too deeply!!

Your cf may be smaller than you think due to wear leveling. Get a bigger cf
card. I can't even find ones that small and haven't been able to for some time.
Several versions back, we moved to a 256mb install size, suggesting a minimum
of 512mb cf cards.
If you had a previous version on there, why not use the upgrade utility instead
of flashing the whole install again?

Just tried to install the newest version on a 256MB flash drive with the
command:
gunzip -c <lastestastlinuxversion>.img.gz | dd of=/dev/hda bs=64k
didn't work, next line I saw stated I was out of space.
So I tried the following even though I really think it was the same
thing. I decompressed the image and copied to a flash drive with
damnsmalllinux on it.
dd if=<latestastlinuxversion>.img of=/dev/hda bs=64k
same thing, next line stated I was out of space.
cfdisk reports space available was 260.14MB. The decompressed astlinux
image is 255MB.
previous astlinux verions I was able to stick on the same 256MB flash
drive with zero issues.
what gives?
