All worked great. I tested all 3. The ONLY issue I have is that archlinux/e17 is poor. its black/grey and white and nothing is readable. only one ugly button on the bottom.
I did a pacman lxde. looked ugly. done pacman fluxbox - I tried click and hold for menu - didnt work.

has anyone tried more windows managers?

I would like to try Gnome but arcn and fedora don't have it available.
maybe I'm wrong?

you say you have tested all three .. i am having a problem with fedora it gives a black screen and mentions many stings of some type of failed attempts I have followed the updated instructions..

Thanks

Need help here, i'm trying to install this on my 16gb mmc..
So i change the code to these :

Code:

   
   sudo gainroot

   cd /media/mmc1/ubuntu
   sudo chmod +x /media/mmc1/ubuntu/chrootubuntu
   sudo chmod +x /media/mmc1/ubuntu/ubuntu
   sudo chmod +x /media/mmc1/ubuntu/startubuntu

   cd /media/mmc1/fedora
   sudo chmod +x /media/mmc1/fedora/fedora
   sudo chmod +x /media/mmc1/fedora/startfedora
   sudo chmod +x /media/mmc1/fedora/chrootfedora

   cd /media/mmc1/archlinux
   sudo chmod +x /media/mmc1/archlinux/archlinux
   sudo chmod +x /media/mmc1/archlinux/chrootarch
   sudo chmod +x /media/mmc1/archlinux/startarch

But i keep getting permission denied error whenever i try the 4th step.. did i miss something?

Changing it to

chmod 777 /media/mmc1/ubuntu/chrootubuntu

doesn't work either

I even tried to change the permission with Mignight Commander by unticking the "x" mark on write and read by user.
But it keeps coming back after i "set" it.. Is it impossible to do this on mmc?

hi if you want to install on the mmc I recomend to just put the *.img.ext2 on it, leve the ubuntu folder on /home/user, the scripts are made to recognice th image on the mmc or MyDocs so follow all the steps as it is

These all work for me. Just archlinux is grey and white and poor quality.

Is fedora meant to have keyboard support? Mine does not accept input.

Also, how do I get GNOME to work in Ubuntu? Please?
I have worked out how to change WM's in archlinux but there is a limited selection, but how is it done in Ubuntu?

Fedora has limited WM's as well.

the problem with arch its that comes with very few app on his repositories. I will try some new repositories

I'm working on the keyboard issue on fedora and arch

gnome its very heavy so probably its going to be very unstable if we run it chrooted with Xephyr so its recomendable to use light weight desktops environments like xfce, lxde, e17, etc

Thanks but i'm running into another weird problem
I can't cd to /home/user/ubuntu
I can cd to /home/user and /home
So it's definitely not syntax problem..

/home/user/images doesn't work as well..
It's as if i can't cd to the third subfolder

Tried sudo gainroot and root but none works

Sorry for being too noob
