Hi, I got the thing to come up with Gnu/Root Debian. I used these instructions from Xda Developers: Guide: Installing and Running a GNU/Linux Environment on Any Android Device(Yes I know this gets scrubbed but perhaps moderator/owner can clear.) I followed the instructions exactly except I just used lxde-core. Synaptic package manager didn't work for me. What you do is once you get everything installed like the instruction show,You fire up XSDL and minimize it. The open GNU/Root Debian and type in these commands as shown: export DISPLAY=:0 PULSE_SERVER=tcp:127.0.0.1:4712startlxde &I gotta write a script for this like startx or something. I then go back and call up XSDL that I previously minimized, it will start up X. I used apt-get install Xastir and mc for Midnight Commander. I still like MC. Big tip: Pair a B/T keyboard and mouse to your Android device. It will be seen and called up from within XSDL. Makes life a heck of a lot easier. Next step I did is I simply setup an IS monitor and by golly Xastir started pulling the stations right off the internet! Only thing I did was make sure my Android was connected via WiFi to the net.I didn't have to do anything to get GNU/Root or XSDL to "find" the internet. XSDL I discovered has a startup screen you can tap and it will all you to do screen resolution and some rudimentary typefont sizing. It is a bit slow but faster than Jessie on a Pocket CHIP. I'll have to load some of my mapfiles and see how Xastir behaves. My next step would be if I can pair serial B/T peripherals so I canpull the NMEA strings off of them for plotting on Xastir. I don't know if the internal GPS can be recognized or I'd have to pair an External B/T GPS. Kinda neat that I have Debian running on top of a 7.1.2 Nougat kernel in a Nexus 7 2012 3G . AOSP tilapia to be exact from July 2017 Any recommendations for a browser I can pull off with apt-get? Kurt KC9LDH
