Do what I do:
1) Install a full system to a CF, and configure it fully.
2) dd the entire CF it to a file that you safe somewhere
3) Learn how to forget about the file.
The landisk builds were done on a CF flash for about a year before
I replaced it with a Hitachi microdrive.
BTW, if anyone has any undamaged CF microdrives, I would like to have
some spares lined up.
