[Voyage-linux] CD iso install or CF image?

[Steve W]

Instead of doing a CD install, why not just do an image file with dd and 
have that available for download.

Assuming /dev/sda is your CF.

To create the image you do:
dd if=/dev/sda of=voyage-x-x.img bs=512k

To put the image file onto a new CF just do:
dd of=/dev/sda if=voyage-x-x.img bs=512k

No need to format it first or any of that stuff.

If you want to revise what is on the CF you can do so later by just 
mounting /dev/sda1 and so on.

If you do this though I would leave both the regular install and the 
image file as options instead of dropping the regular install.

You can zip the image files to make them less of a disk space hog. I 
found zip worked better for me than tar.gz for an image file. Maybe its 
just me :)
