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

[Bahn, William L Civ USAFA/DFCS]

I have GnuRadio up and running on some Fujitsu Tablet PC under Fedora Core 6.

I need to get GnuRadio up and running on some PCI-104 embedded processors, 
which means I need the O/S to boot from a USB key. I have a 4 GB key but am 
willing to purchase an 8 GB or even a 16 GB key if that's what it takes.

The PCI-104 has 1 GB of DRAM.

Is there a fairly straightforward way to get Fedora to run from a USB key?

An alternative would be: Does anyone know of a Linux distro that can be made to 
run from a USB key that we can get GnuRadio up and running on without too much 
heartache. We've tried installing it on DSL (Damn Small Linux) but can't get 
the fftw libraries to compile.

Thanks.
