Linux On a Compact Flash?
#2
You'd have to have a bios that is bootable from that device. I've never seen a system that is able to boot from a CF card. I've heard that some PCs are now starting to allow booting from USB ports, so you may want to investigate that option first. You could easily fit a lightweight distro of Linux onto a 512 USB flash card...heck, you could fit a live CD on a 1GB usb flash drive, but the BIOS would have to allow booting from it.
