Hello,

I'm currently evaluating the use of PWL for use in a wireless networking
appliance. (Yup, we're strapping the bird to an oil well.)

How is the final PWL image placed in the compact flash?  Is the CF card
mounted on the development machine, formatted, installed, then
re-inserted in the target and booted?  While the web page only mentions
a few concerns about formatting the CF card, how is that actually done?

The only other concern I have is, whether PWL supports the complete
PCMCIA distribution? (I assume yes, but I assume that I'd have to
manually install this after I built the PWL distribution.)
