Collin, Thanks for the reply. I looking at the Narcisuss page now and i don't see the radio button for the jffs option you mentioned. I'm only looking to run a few things (Kismet, and GPS) on this so flash size shouldn't be an issue. I'll look at the kexecboot kernel option. I have the v1.2.3 bootloader installed, and the 2007-12 release worked very well, until it was upgraded :-). Cheers Mike On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 12:09 AM, Collin Rickford <[email protected]>wrote:
