Clearly, one of the fundamental differences of Limey Linux is that it is *ENTIRELY* RAM-based. So, there is no "permanent" filesystem. If you make a config change (something in the /etc directory tree), you have to then use the command 'svcfg', which writes a tarball onto the CF card, so that the next time it boots, it will re-read that stuff into RAM again. Forgive me, but I can't control myself, and am taking this AMAZING opportunity to say: "Gee, you're British.. Don't you know about this "Limey" stuff???" :-) :-) :-) Jim WB6NIL

Hi Guys,
I've fixed the fsck on boot problem - I was using the wrong image.
However, I'm in need of some assistance with setup etc.
I've never played with this kind of setup before, so please excuse me if some of the questions seem a bit basic.
First off, I cannot seem to get it to save anything. I changed the timezone to GMT0BST, ran date and it showed the correct time. Reboot, and it defaults back to PDT. Same as all the .conf files. The ones that have been downloaded from the portal are ok (such as gps.conf, echolink.conf etc), but I'm trying to modify rpt.conf & usbradio.conf with nano. Again, it all saves just fine, but the moment I reboot the thin client, everything is dropped and reverts back to the default settings.
Am I doing something wrong here? or is it just the nature of the system I'm using? I cannot leave the thin client on 24/7 - that won't be happening (it's powered by the 25A SMPSU I have in the shack, and the fan is noisy for a start).
If it's a case of having to drop everything every time it gets turned off, then I'll go back to the 2.5" HDD from the CF.
Unless I'm not doing something right?
Cheers,
James 29681
