Thanks, Jim. I did get GNURadio to build, by putting 4GB of swap on the
eMMC. Although swap on iscsi sounds cool, and is definitely creative!
C7 with 4GB of swap feels much more responsive, even when not heavily
loaded, for some reason. I'm just needing to get some of the GUI pieces
of EPEL built (wxPython and its deps, for one) before I can go to
production with these little devices (targeted to be RFI sniffers for a
radio astronomy observatory using the cheap RTL-SDR dongles made by
outfits like Nooelec).
