Funny, I just installed a 'full' Linux distro on a CF, like with a regular harddisk, and it runs in full rw mode. Packing it up in a squashfs and running the thing with aufs did not seem worth the hassle of setting up a specialized initrd. And then, when you need to make one change (firewall), it's faster than recreating the sqfs image. Will see how it long that lasts.
