Hi, Until June I've used my Neo Freerunner with QtMoko. Then anti-crime law banned anonymous SIMs and I decided that connectivity wasn't worth the weight in my pocket anymore. Then I watched Denver Gingerich's talk at Libreplanet about the alternatives to baseband. He suggests that a Freerunner running Debian is one of the best options for a pocket computer.
Seeing as I got one of those that still works (it's only 10 years old after all) it would be a shame to waste it. I found that the software didn't boot anymore, so I put the last version of QtMoko on the SD again. Now my main use case is to get some kind of communication going over wifi. The SIM unlock screen that QtMoko presents me with is useless and I'd rather see it running something like Ring, or at least XMPP chat if resources are too limited. The Freerunner manual on the wiki [1] seems pretty outdated. I didn't try the pkg-fso install script because (i) it looks broken and (ii) I don't have a working OS in flash. I continued from the QtMoko partition to install nodm and xorg, but all I see so far on the screen is a root prompt (though X is running). Does anyone have current information about running Debian on a Freerunner? [1] https://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner
