Ryan - Someone suggested getting VMWare setting up a Ubuntu VM ... this is a -great- suggestion since you're running OSX, -if- you have an Intel-Mac. If you have a PPC-Mac, then this is not an option (AFAIK), and you'll need to either (1) install Linux on another hard drive / partition

VMWare does not support OS X. They have a beta for Intel-Mac OSX. Nothing for PPC Mac though. Expect a full release this summer, with all the great features of their other VM players. Can you be more specific about Ubuntu, what I am supposed to get exactly. Ubuntu is a Linux

I have both a PPC and an Intel-Mac, Do I just download the Linux VMWare? It doesn't seem to have support for Os X. You download a VMWare beta fusion for Intel-Mac: http://www.vmware.com/products/beta/fusion/ Then you download an Ubuntu ISO or a VMWare Ubuntu application:

You didn't have to call me a noobjk (im not a fan of nerd speak). Get used to it ;) Thanks so much, that is really what I was looking for. By running Linux, I will be prepared when someone releases an OpenMoko programming suite, right? In theory, yes, by running Linux you'll be

Parallels isn't free, yes? The VMware fusion beta currently is ... of course, it's beta so its utility might not be that great; should be $99 once it's released (maybe beta testers can get a discount? I don't know). I actually use Parallels right now, though I need to try out the VMware

Re: Installer Package OE.pkg for MacOS X?

2007-02-12 Thread Michael Dickens
It is one of my goals to get OE running under OSX, in a fashion that is repeatable most of the time by most folks. That way one can do the work on a PPC or Intel Mac, and not require a VM of any type. This would be -good-, though the VM concept and implementation is awesome IMHO. In

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'd like to check it out, and possibly write a recipe for setting up in this. Simplest: Setup the VM with Ubuntu 6.10; follow instructions on OpenMoko wiki. I don't think a special script will be very useful here since there isn't much (if

You need to install boost too. You can find it in dpkg, or apt-get, or dselect, or whatever. Just install what's available (all of them). - MLD On Feb 12, 2007, at 7:04 PM, Ryan Kline wrote: I am trying to install OE on Ubuntu 6.10 and I am having trouble installing monotone. I was told

Position of u-SD slot?

I'm interested in making use of the u-SD slot with a card much like the Spectec microSDIO WiFi 11g Card, but one developed in house for more general wireless networking. I assume that the u-SD slot is accessed via the back side of the device, but does anyone know if it will be behind the
