So previously I voiced my concern over getting gnome to run on the

not not convinced it's a good idea, but here's how to make it work. My SD
card has a 512M swap partition and a 2 Gig overlay (I have the 4 Gig card).
The general hope is that you can run the live image that best suits your
needs and requirements.
If you don't fix the image, the machine will eat up too much RAM
and
won't run, so you need to use an overlay file so the changes stick between
reboots.
As it turns out, memory isn't the biggest problem. A bigger problem
actually is the compression from squashfs. I've got an update pending
for livecd-iso-to-disk (already on my people page, but not in git) to
copy over the raw ext3fs.img instead. The difference this makes is
pretty staggering.
At the very least, turn off setroubleshoot, that's the one really
eat a lot of RAM.
As of snap1, setroubleshoot is generally off on the live images (though
for those installing a live image to a regular machine, you'll get
normal setroubleshoot functionality after rebooting)
