Wotcha peepsJ
So. After much fxxxaries I have a lovely new puredyne install on my surprise bday pressie (hey, it was almost an iphone, thankfully one of my mates talked my Mrs out of it). It's one of the UK Vodafone deals, so comes with xp rather than the ubuntu option. Short Version Tried to boot from the cute lil' preformatted pd usb stick but no joy - hangs. Made own usb installer via the info on the debian page http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch04s04.html.en and here http://d-i.pascal.at/#obtain again http://www.unicom.com/blog/entry/563 Maybe I'm missing something 'cos I'm doing this via iceweasel but finding those files 'vmlinuz' etc was a drag, I couldn't figure how to find them through the debian site but finally stumbled on the ftp site via google http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/current/image s/hd-media/ Whilst trying to install with Debian's 'advance graphical installer, via usb, everytime it got to 'searching network devices', would be told that it couldn't find one. Interestingly when I tried auto adv install it worked? Problem with that is, it installed the full system; on an 8G drive that's a pain. Then added the new and super-shiny wget http://debian.goto10.org/debian/pool/main/p/puredyne-settings/puredyne-setti ngs_20081120_i386.deb dpkg -i puredyne-settings_20081120_i386.deb nice When booting with '7-rt21' kernel (same point with live install stick) it hangs here Udevd-event[745]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit I also tried '1-rt15' This gets as far as 'debian login', then the 'Failed to start the X server' window On the plus side Got Bluetooth and wiimotes running with pure data (cheers mike woz) http://mikewoz.com/index.php?page=pd-stuff http://www.wiili.org/index.php/CWiid Oh joy. Camera works. Nothing working yet with the vodaphone 3g/gpsd card. Vodafone does have an open source division/department/www page/lab http://www.betavine.net/bvportal/home.html I'm kinda optimistically thinkin that if people have got it going on ubuntu it must be doable. Back to my light-sabre/wiimote:nnnnnneeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww Jbz
