Hey cyber7, thank you for the tip! I'm sure it will be useful to several people.

I get the following:

bo@NP550:~/Downloads$ sudo dd if=/dev/loop1 of=/dev/loop0
dd: writing to ‘/dev/loop0’: No space left on device
3891201+0 records in
3891200+0 records out
1992294400 bytes (2.0 GB) copied, 78.4085 s, 25.4 MB/s
bo@NP550:~/Downloads$

Don't know if beta 0.3 is too big to fit on a 2Gb drive. Has anyone tried this?

IMHO there is no difference between copying the original image to a smaller CF and the method explained by cyber7. The partition table remains the same in NEW.img and the end of part2 points behind the end of the CF. You won't get a clean partition this way.
