cbagger01, caulktel

it depends on the CF-Card. I have two 64MB CF-Card and treated them in the same way (cfdisk,
mhe2fs). On one card i could copy all files and links, on the other card i could only copy the files not the links.

8363,

For what it's worth I am using a SanDisk 256 meg CF card. After two tries I get the same results, and yes you are right, it's not copying the links. I am going to try it again from a DSL hard drive installation. I think it has to do with the system you are tring to copy it from more that it has to do with the CF card.

caulktel,
my system is Debian Woody.
I'm trying both cards on the same system. One was OK and the other don't copy the links.
After playing around with cfdisk and mke2fs ( about a thousand times) the second card works to. But i really dont Know why, because i tried it so often and suddenly it works.
Allthough both cards are 64MB, cfdisk shows different heads, sectors and cylinders, but i don't think thats not the reason.

I use a 128MB and a 256MB Card too, they all worked well with my files. On both of the cards
i made two partitions (68/60MB and 128/128MB) and use only the first one for the 2200linux.

8363,

I got it to work by using DSL. Last two times I tried it I was using Yoper Linux, so I'm not sure what the answer is. Anyway, now I have something to work with. Have you given any thought to trying to this with DSL? It also is Debian based(well Knoppix based). Another ?, what keyboard map are you using on yours? I had to hunt and peck looking for the slash key, which i found as shift 7. I did start Fluxbox, but it will take a little configuration to use it. But, Im just thrilled to have it boot. Thank You. I wonder if your kernel would boot DSL, because it auto detects everything on boot up, I think it would be easier.

caulktel
it loaded the german keymap. Look at /etc/init.d/rcS and delete or comment out the line
"loadkmap < /key.map" . Then it should use the english keyboard.
