Linux install on RouterBOARD 200 series 'Proof of Concept'

Summary:
The instructions and files below enable a user to write a Linux image to a
CF (using Windows or Linux) that will boot on a RouterBOARD 200 series.
The given images have been tested working on the RouterBOARD platform.
Note that MikroTik does not provide support service for these distributions.

Requirements:
- CompactFlash or 2.5" IDE hard drive with at least 64MB
- USB flash reader, IDE-CF adapter or 2.5" IDE drive
- image writing utility for Windows (download here) or standard Linux image
  writing utility
- Linux image (Debian or LEAF-Bering)(download here)

------------
Warning: These commands are potentially dangerous as they allow you to
overwrite your system disk unintentionally, so please double-check the 
destination disk. In no event shall MikroTik be liable for any damages caused
by improper use of low-level disk write utilities or the given LEAF project or
Debian Linux distribution images.

Note: The PhysDiskWrite utility is written by Manuel Kasper <mk@neon1.net> 
as part of his m0n0wall project ( http://www.m0n0.ch/wall/ ). It is not required 
that you use this utility to write CompactFlash (but it is the only one that was
tested by us), so you can use any other that can write on a medium raw image of
a disk (like 'dd' utility for UNIX/Linux does)

See the homepage of the LEAF project for more information and documentation:

See the homepage of the Debian GNU/Linux project for more information and
documentation: http://www.debian.org/
