Re: Debian SID for 770
Hey again,
Just uploaded a tar image of my sid+e17. You can download it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RC4D6W60
Keep in mind that this image is _broken_. That is: when you boot it nothing...

Re: Debian SID for 770
Hey all,
Sorry for not posting earlier, I had to put my nokia770 and all I was doing a bit on hold.
So, how to get e17 up and running in your debian sid?
Well, it takes a bit of work...

Re: Debian SID for 770
Just a quick comment, I will also cross post on the debian on the n800. I got e17 working (wahey!) and it works pretty fast (if you compile with optimisations and all).
I will try to either upload...

Re: Debian SID for 770
e16keyedit and e16menuedit are also available as packages.
Not sure about the kind of keybindings you'd use though.

Re: Debian SID for 770
I just realised that there are debian packages for e16 et al. Compiling it and testing it was still fun though.

Re: Debian SID for 770
I haven't done much with it really (this was last night). Seems to be very responsive and the bling is nice (not e17 though). Now I'm working on tweaking it so it's better fitted to the IT (larger...

Re: Debian SID for 770
right, managed to build+run e16 on my 770. Oddly enough, all I had to do was compile e16 inside scratchbox, scp and run. It works no problems.

Re: Debian SID for 770
I suggest you go to #edevelop on freenode. Speak to k-s, top guy! He ported EFL to the IT and is behind Canola2. I started doing some python+EFL stuff and he helped me a lot. EFL certainly works in...

Re: Debian SID for 770
Maybe you're using the wrong SDK? I know that Bora is for OS2007 and gregale (I believe) is for OS2006. I guess that might have something to do with it all, but then again, since you're using your...

Re: Debian SID for 770
About Xomap, I did something along those lines. Repacked the debs from ITOS and dpkged into my debian. One thing to look for, for some reason /usr/lib/ wasn't included by default in my debootstrap...

Re: Debian SID for 770
Agree.
Definitely not. A bit more than just xterm+vkbd is needed, but still KDE might be a bit too much.
On a different but related topic, and perhaps apple2 can shed some light here, I...

Are you calling my 770 archaic? ;) Seriously, a 770 has serious memory limitations (unless you buy an extra card). I just recently bought a card and until then I...

Re: Debian SID for 770
Fair enough. That's a start. I imagine that replacing the usual utilities with busybox might reduce the size a bit further.
A 100M image + X + blackbox might be a good start I guess.

Re: Debian SID for 770
Hey,
So, debootstrapping results in a usable debian in the sense that you can telnet to it, apt stuff, etc. No X though. I tried Johnx's method of repacking Xomap with no success, i.e. X is up,...

Great job apple2.
Just tried it yesterday on my 770. It was somewhat slow, but I can live with that.
I recall another member asking you how to go about getting your own debian for the IT. I...
