My image will work on your hardware. The links that Volks provided are for older images. Take the one I just uploaded, do the clonezila thing and you should be 95 percent to your goal. Just have festival to go. I believe perl is installed by default but I could be wrong. Could not fit bluetooth in a...

First,  I like your style with the personal recognition via cell phone. NFC or near field communication is going to get very popular soon and you are on that level with that feature. Second, tbowland has only 512mb beautiful lx series hardware last I checked. It says ambia in the upper right yes? Th...

Hey Folks. I am looking at Debian squeeze on my DT360 currently. I need to use it for a day to make sure but I think I finally have a good one. For whatever reason the CF card recognizes as /dev/hda and as such I cant seem to get an automounter to see it. It can be manually mounted and browsed in th...

Hey Thom, Your timing is impeccable. I have just uploaded an image and with Volkswagners help we have a simple way to install it. I do need you to check out and verify your hardware though. The GX and LX are more than slightly different on the inside. Let me ask this. Your wifi, is it pcmcia or is i...

Hi All. Here is something new. With the help of Volkswagner, thank you Volks!, I have imaged my DT using Clonezilla. The result is a folder with the structure needed for Clonezilla to restore this image to your DT. This should suffice as a simple method for anyone to install linux to their WebDT! Be...

Confirmed. I fubarred the image. With Volkswagners help I have created a new Clonezilla installable image and will start a new thread announcing.

New thread is here:

I may have to reupload that image folks. Reports are that it doesnt init well. The PenMount driver was written in such a way to support only i686 architecture. If you are installing the PenMount Debian6 driver yourself cd in to the driver folder and issue this: sudo mv i686 i586 and then execute the...

Morning Volkswanger! Penmount was a challenge. Their installer kept giving me errors too. When I read /var/log/Xorg.0.log indications were that penmount module did not exist. Looking at the folder structure of their driver for Debian 6, it was different than any of their other drivers with the i686 ...

So I have been trying like heck to get a kernel recompiled and packed back in to a live distro. Not going well. The kernel part is not actually the hard part. Its all the sym links that you have to rebuild and the three way handshake between initrd, bzimage and all your modules. After ten tries I am...

Sorry about that Dam, Seems after I made this post and took off for the weekend someone uploaded an iso on the porteus end with a questionable kernel config. [url]http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=518&sid=3bbbeee0c0ca6adca40a5b932a8eeec1&start=10#p4227[/url RC-1 may work for ...

Thanks guys. Still at it. Just came up for air. On attempt number ten at recompiling the kernel. Didn't know until recently but initrd is a small disk image. To modify it I need to mount it as a block device in /mnt. Neat! Anyways I hope to get this kernel stuff down soon. Cant tell you how many coo...

Looks like I did not do a good job compiling the kernel the first time around. I seem to hang in init so I know there are missing drivers in init.xz. It may take me more than the weekend to recompile and start over. If anyone wants to try Porteus out without an optimized kernel I would not discourag...

Good progress so far. Here is a link to the Porteus forums and my thread there: http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=518&sid=d288256e87e24f1d7159058cb9694269 brokenman, Porteus project lead, is helping me out with compiling a shiney new kernel with aufs2 support. Thank you vey much ...

Hey plane_crazy, Please pardon if I pipe in here but I just posted internal pics of the lx800 hardware. I think they may answer some of our questions. http://webdt.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=0.msg3624#msg3624 No pcmcia but yes on bluetooth. Instead we get a mini pci g card from intel that is very pop...

Technically the pdf from DT research does cover the specs on these however when you open one up it is quite a bit different than the GX series. Here are some pics to show you in what ways. I also showed a shot or three of my 4gb internal flash chip modification. https://picasaweb.google.com/daryl.ku...
