In my system I didn't bother with any of embedded file systems - I've |

created 1 GB ext2 partition (journalising in ext3 increases read/write |
5 |
count), and it worked just like any other hard drive. Bios detected |
6 |
correct capacity - I was lucky with that, but in case where BIOS doesn't |
7 |
detect CF card properly google is Your friend. |

I don't have all doc I've used during setup but I remember reading this one |
