>Hello, my name is Terje Utheim, I work with the University of Bergen in
>Norway at the Institute og Geoscience.
>My project is designing field recorders for recording earthquakes. We are

>I read through your documentation for Qplus and found it intresting.
>However I have a question before actually trying out your software:
>
>Our development configuration is:
>
>Host:
>Standard desktop PC with Redhat 9.0
>PCMCIA interface with Compac Flash adapter, (this is where I want to deploy
>the bootable Linux os)
>
>Target:
>Lippert PC104 CPU with CompacFlash socket integrated on board. The PC can
>boot from the compacflash.
>No floppy, no CD, but Ethernet interface
>
>If the image can be made bootable as hda on the compacflash,  I am in
>business.
>
>Is there any way I can do this in Qplus ?
>
>Again, the idea is to generate the bootable compacflash as hda on the host
>system, then insert it in the PC104 system and boot it.
>
>I would appreciate your advice and suggestions and be happy to use your
>software if possible.
