Ghpsdr3-usb

Goal is a complete easy to configure suite of ghpsdr3-alex application on a bootable USB Flash drive

Ghpsdr3-usb-boot

Very basic Instructions. I will add details as time allows.

You will need about 5GB of free space on your PC. You can delete the files and reclaim this space when you are finished.
You will need a 4GB or larger USB flashdrive or stick.

Step 1
Download the zipped Image file sdr_lubuntu_2011-12-21.img.zip from Sourceforge. The download is ~ 640MB. Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghpsdr3-usb/files/2011-12-21/

Step 2
Unzip the image file sdr_lubuntu.img (3.8GB)

Step 3
Follow the instruction on this fine page for your OS substituting sdr_lubuntu.img for the ubuntu .img file. Skip the part about MD5. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles

Step 4
You should now have a bootable USB Flashdrive. Plug into your booting candidate and boot from USB.

Step 5
Play with your new Linux Lubuntu OS. Remeber it does have a SLOW USB drive for a disk so don't expect too much for speed. Once an app loads however it should perform FB.
