Peter,

I am surprised that on the 128MB CF, you have only a 29MB root filesystem.
Do you know which file you downloaded?

Here is df -h on one of a 128MB CF I made for development today:

Filesystem    Size     Used     Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0a      59M      23M       34M    40%    /
mfs:10         47K      41K      4.0K    91%    /dev
/etc           59M      23M       34M    40%    /permanent/etc
mfs:1363      1.3M     929K      352K    72%    /etc
/home          59M      23M       34M    40%    /permanent/home
mfs:1373       68K      51K       14K    79%    /home
/tmp           59M      23M       34M    40%    /permanent/tmp
mfs:1390      324K     512B      307K     0%    /tmp
/var           59M      23M       34M    40%    /permanent/var
mfs:1394      5.3M     4.6M      440K    91%    /var

We reserve half of the CF card for an upgrade image.

I recommend that people make their changes to the CUWiN sources, and then
build a new CF card.  That may be cumbersome for you.  Shall I make you
a new 128MB CF card image?
