These instructions are intended to be used on an external PC running Ubuntu.
* You will need a CF to USB adapter for creating the CF card: ex: ​ CF -> USB

Install Barrett Provided CF Image

On an External Ubuntu PC
Install fsarchiver

sudo apt-get install fsarchiver

Insert CF Card and adapter into your PC. Close all pop-ups showing contents of CF card.

We have created scripts to automate the creation of the CF Images.
