<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I have been trying to get
ROS installed on one of my RoBoards (Vortrx86 based SBC,
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.roboard.com"><a href="http://www.roboard.com">www.roboard.com</a></a>) similarly to Taylor Veltrop. I ran into a few
difficulties and while fixing them have created a new install of
Ubuntu on the RoBoard. As I was tinkering with this, I ended up
building a light fast install based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server
with the newest Vortex86 kernel installed. I put X on it and
installed Awesome window manager (very small, light and can be run
with or w/o a mouse). I have ROS Diamondback installed (and
working) and the RoBoIO v1.7 library compiled and installed as a
Shared Library (RoBoIO.so). Works like a champ ... low memory and
processor load and is only 2.75 GB on an 8 GB partition. I have
made a CloneZilla image of it and thought if anyone was interested
I would post it on my server for download. With CloneZilla it is
very easy to install to the RoBoard with a 2 GB USB stick (the
image is 1.1 GB). You just install CloneZilla to to the USB
stick, copy the image to the /home/partimg directory, boot on the
USB and follow the instructions. The image is for an 8 GB disk,
so you will need at least an 8 GB microSD card.<br>
