[SLUG] embedded linux - second try

I am investigating some hardware for a friend who wants a kiosk for his
business. We purchased a computer that has no drive, just a compact flash
slot. There's no way to attach a floppy or cd drive, but I can write to the
CF card from another computer.

 

Never having done anything with embedded Linux, I have only a cursory
understanding of what the steps are to build this system. I'm sure I can
work my way through this eventually, but if anyone has any experience in
this and wouldn't mind answering a question or two as they arise, I'd be
grateful. My friend's business is a restaurant, so a free dinner can be
arranged :-)

 

Thanks.
