Benjamin, I got it worked out, I didn't pay attention and grabbed a thin client with only 256MB or ram, I tried one with 512MB and it is all good. The CPU usage seems pretty high at over 50% using usbradio, I will have to give simpleusb a shot to compare. Robert N5QM On Fri, Jun 28, 2013 at 10:09 PM, Benjamin Naber <benjamin@kb9lfz.com> wrote:
I think I am using the Limey Linux for i686.
I am trying to remember if I used 'dd' or 'gunzip -c.....' to install the image to the IDE flash drive. I remember having some trouble first installing it, but decided to try a couple different routes as previously I had to do the same thing.
I am not sure why I had to do that, but I figured there are more than one to do something.

Benjamin,
Which image of Limey are you running? Both of them panic on me.
