You don't need a full install or to recompress anything, the easiest way is to make your CF just like it was a liveUSB (liveHD method) with a persistent partition (like on the keys we use). It's really easy and simple, I have a p:d running on a CF on a SBC and the persistent mode allows me to make such tweaks (xorg.conf, but also add extra packages, put personal files, etc...) It's also a bit more friendly to the flash memory, as your main system is read-only and need little rw operation (no swap needed also if you have enough RAM). a. > veremos, > > /a > > [1]http://www.pcengines.ch/alix3d3.htm > > > > > >> so i have a CF card that i use with grub to boot debian lenny on a >> small computer. the image in the card uses the p:d reps and conforms a >> system that opens pd and streams audio via wireless or cable no >> questions asked.... >> >> wanting to try L&P on them I proceeded today to download the iso. >> >> -mounted -o loop the .iso to try to cp -rv /live to / >> >> my first problem was that i couldn't see the whole structure inside / >> live . mount -o loop doesn't expand the .img inside it..
