Best image is OpenPLi 7.x and 8.x,

This needs to be in Flash, then you can install any other Japhar image into Memory stick.

You can also use the trick to move some folders into the Memory Stick of the Flash image, if done properly you could get things working well.

Due to the lack of Flash space on DM500HD box, we had to reduce the software built in during compiling.

It's highly recommended to format in NTFS the HDD and then use the "ln" tricks to move folders into the external Memory Stick.

The multiboot is definitely a "nasty" way to play with this box, as it requires as well compatible drivers between the images, an often fails to work. You cannot mix different drivers an SSL in multiboot, as well as moving folders is easier than using buggy plugins that are no more suitable with newer drivers/Kernels.

You can also try to install this image, to format the HDD, then reflash with OpenPLi.
