Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GnuRadio on PCI-104 (i.e., Fedora on USB Flash Drive)

[Sam Hutchins]

For Fedora, you need to install the livecd-tools. Included are several 
kickstart files (.ks) for various configurations, and extensive instructions 
(README) on doing the whole process. Pretty straight forward. I have done it 
on a 1 GB flash drive (thumb) for a laptop and desktop. I found that for my 
laptop, I couldn't see a USB drive to boot from in BIOS until I first plugged 
in a thumb drive then went into BIOS, where it then showed up. After that it 
was easy to select from in the options shown for alternate boot (F12?). My 
KDE graphic desktop image file including Openoffice came to 811 MB. With an 
active Internet connection, it will download the latest files too, which is 
nice (the normal update process).
