hi all, Was wondering if anyone is running Centos on a CF card slot. It installed OK , it boots ok, but after a while it is no longer on the network. After power cycling there is nothing in the /var/log/messages as to a crash etc... I ran a USB thumb drive 8G on this same PC and it seems to continue to work. Just STICKS out a few inches. Not the best look. Any pointers on how to find out what it doesnt like? Any pointers on running from a CF card. I have done the straight 686 install - I do add asterisk to the box. Jerry

What do you mean by a CF card slot? Is it a USB->CF adapter? If your going the CF route I'd suggest a [P|S]ATA->CF adapter instead of a USB one. nate

So I just reboot. thought maybe there would be something in the log file saying why the lock up but there isnt. Jerry
