Downloaded PenDrive and Ubuntu server ISO to make a bootable 4GB USB drive (this allowed persistent storage of the cfimg files under the /cdrom/doc folder).
Booted into USB Rescue and ran fdisk to delete two Windows partitions off of 512MB flash.
Ran the "dd if=cfimg-1.1.5 of=/dev/sdb" and wrote out 128MB image just fine.
Rebooted 5710 and it stuck at "USB Hub detected". Inserted above USB drive and it proceeded to a login prompt. It does not see the URI at this point. Tried the 1.1.4 and 1.1.5 version for VIA here. Tried the i686-1.1.5 version and it didn't even get this far.
No "This is your first time..." script ran like the Drupal page says. No eth0 came up either.
Found out Limey is actually "Archlinux" and found the commands to get on the internet.
Ran "ip link set <ip> dev eth0 up" and "ip addr add <ip/netmask/> dev eth0"
Was able to ping my default gateway and then edit /etc/resolv.conf to add "nameserver 8.8.8.8".
How does one save changes back to the flash? The "svcfg" doesn't seem to exist...
Once on the network, I switched to /usr/src and ran "getsrc" which downloaded Asterisk. I tried to do a "configure" but that failed. Read the README and did a usbradio_install but that also failed.
This is a *really* stripped down version of Linux that uses 128MB of memory after installed. I am comfortable around Linux and CentOS and realize Limey isn't a beginner's O/S, one that I'm willing to work through.
I might buy an 8GB USB drive and use that with a regular ACID install to get more functionality as a try of Ubuntu Server didn't have enough disk for an install (it did find all the devices just fine under Rescue mode since it's a newer distro), or perhaps CentOS 6.3 and roll my own compile of Allstar.
