I have a 4G SD. If you have a 2G SD you'll have to shrink the swap and/or the overlay to fit. I finally ended up partitioning my SD with parted so that slice 1 is a 512MB linux-swap and slice 2 is the remainder. Then simply add '--overlay-size-mb xxxx', where xxxx is <= 2047, to the options when you image your SD card with livecd-iso-to-disk.sh Thus if you have a 2G SD you could use 512MB for swap and that would leave about 832MB for the overlay. Don't forget to 'format' your swap partition with mkswap. With that I was finally able to start a terminal window and run top. Now I need to find the hint someone had about enabling sub-pixel rendering so that my fonts aren't clipped.
