Works : nicely, and you can get a pretty fully functional system in 4 megs. The 8M image that I put on CF cards here will compress down to about 3.5M (judging from tar cf - /mnt | gzip -9 | wc). I'm not at all surprised that you can get a lot on the 4M parts, since the subset taht we use is interesting.
