it just occurred to me...
considering the wiki for n8x0 and scratch is outdated, instructions don't work properly anymore ...etc. and even when they did it was a royal pain.
Could someone tinker with the wiki there and amend it to date so it isn't a hairpulling experience ?...Instead of the scratchbox attemptee ending in a pavement stain from ledge-jumping from 37 stories ....
I mean..hell...I like puzzles... I like challenges...but...I don't enjoy going near the mess anymore...
hrm...
anyway..
just a thought...
but considering the op has managed a new toolchain that can be used with debian 7 amd64...
for absolute simplicity ..
for new and old members alike..
would it be possible to create a debian 7 distro which has scratch already plumbed ready for n8x0's ..n900 even?
Is it reasonably feasible?....
is it far far too much work for it to be rationally doable? ..
is it impossible? (since I have not undertaken such a feat I would not know...)
I do know they had a knoppix distro way back in the day ...fire it up away you went...I'm not sure if they had a whole team working on it nor how long it took.
