It's possible to run Debian armel on this hardware. > Would any of the armel installers work on here do you think or would > I have to start from scratch? The installer won't work. ARM is not like x86 where one kernel/installer will work on the majority of PCs. On ARM, you need a kernel for each CPU/SoC platform and you have to add support in the installer for each platform and for each device. Debian doesn't offer a kernel for the PXA168 and neither do we have support in the installer. You basically have three options: a) Generate a Debian kernel package for PXA168 and adapt the installer so it will use your custom repo. b) Use debootstrap to generate a Debian base system, build your own kernel and offer that to download for users. c) Add a PXA168 kernel to Debian and add support in Debian. I don't know how much interest there's in PXA168 though. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
