[Asterisk-Users] Booting * from CF

[Kelly Griffin]

Just remember that CF cards have a limited life as far as read/write cycles
are concerned.  Transcend says that their CF can handle 1,000,000
program/erase cycles before failure.  I think, in practical experience, that
this is way high.  My experience is between 50K and 200K.

 It really depends on what you want to do, are you thinking of storing
voicemail on the CF? The
above link is to install onto a 64mb CF card (can be used on bigger cards
too if required)
