Ah, hadn't considered that. Yeah, its very tailored to an EPIA. Sounds like 
maybe DSL is indeed a better option.

I don't have a clue, haven't actually used it. My EPIA is running FC3 at the 
moment, off a 10GB laptop HD, so I didn't worry much about space.

As for Myth on DSL, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't run on it, once 
you've got all the necessary bits in place. How much work getting said bits 
in place would be, I haven't a clue. In that respect, MiniMyth would 
obviously be easier if you can adapt it for your hardware, since the Myth 
part of the equation is already taken care of.

If I were installing on a CF card, I'd probably use Debian or Fedora myself, 
building the system up in a chroot on another machine, then rsync it onto the 
flash card when appropriately trimmed, but that's just me. :-)


PS - Dave, don't trim quite so much of the original message, leave enough 
context that people don't have to already know the entire thread to 
understand what you're talking about...
