[pure:dyne] CF install

[alejo duque]

>

so, p:d kernel boots the alix3c3[1] , right now it runs from a CF  
card... ala liveCD

i needed to modify xorg.conf to get to see the puredyne xfce4 desktop  
(tx anton) but now my question is how to make changes permanent?

i guess i kind of need to recompress the squashfs image, but that  
makes little sense, since i have in the same card lenny.. i might just  
copy the kernel and compare it with the one i had compiled.

veremos,
