Here's a handy tip to all who are using a CF card on
a Soekris running OpenBSD: if you have to retrieve a
large chunk of data from which you only need a few
files, e.g. a CVS module or a tarball, set up an MFS
partition that will fit the contents and check out the
module or untar the tarball onto the MFS. Things will
go a lot faster, and you don't have to worry about
your CF's write cycles;)
