New to ML, some questions about mulitple CF cards on a 5dc?

[stmcd]

Hello,

I just downloaded ML for my 5dc and have a question about how things work:

  If I understand how ML works, the firmware runs off the card, SO, does that mean that I need to instal ML on all of my CF cards to enjoy the features when using different cards?

Yes

And if I format those cards?  Do I need to reinstall ML again? It seemed to come and go when I was first setting it up.  I was able to get it to work then I formatted the cards and its gone.  Any thoughts?

Yes. You have to put ML back on the card and also enable the boot flag on the card.

Also, you can use the camera to format the card and have it keep ML.

Ok, Thanks.  I'm not familiar with boot flagging,  could you point me towards a tutorial?
