It installs on the iLiad without a problem.

iRex's update procedure downloads a gzipped version of the file system image to /mnt/protected. This partition is 27MB. It's mounted when the "flash filesystem flag" is set, and it extracts the file system image located on it to the root partition.

The file system images provided by iRex are usually 26MB.

I modified their file system image with all the enhancements, and now the image is 32MB when it's gzipped. It's too large to fit on the protected partition, so the only way to flash it is from the CF card.
