[j-nsp] Need to run "request system snapshot" from an external 500Meg CF to the 1000Meg internal CF

[Fred Jordan]

Stefan,
    Thanks for the suggestion. I just issued "request system snapshot 
media compact-flash as-primary" and like you suggested ; it worked just 
fine. Seems I was trying to make a big deal out of nothing.
Thanks again,
    Fred
