Anything else will silently be ignored. Furthermore Linux deploy uses a single file when it is pointed to an external SDcard (with FAT32) which is mounted via a loop device, formatted ext4, and then populated with the Gentoo Linux files. Hello Meino, I'm not sure tinhat will suit your needs. I'm not sure this will work, but if it does it might jubt be very cool and quick: http://opensource.dyc.edu/tinhat I'd be curious if anyone has uploaded such to an existing tablet computer. hth, James

It is slow, but it works. Best regards, Francisco

Once you are successful, I look forward to following your wiki page to test what you figure out! hth, James Hi James, Thanks for the link again ! :) :) :) From this https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Android/FAQ I get the impression, that this Gentoo is for ARM based platforms. My budget tablet runs on a Intel Atom Bay Trail ZF3745 Quad Core. I am quite happy with what Linux Deploy does and how it works. I only need more space in my filesystem so I am looking for a solution for that problem first before installing other distribution or projects. Best regards, Meino
