Nokia 770Forum: DSL Ideas and Suggestions Topic: Nokia 770 started by: tigan Posted by tigan on Dec. 14 2005,17:57
Now that the Internet Tablet from Nokia has been released, and because it is running a version of Debian Linux on it, wouldn't this be greate if DSL was ported to this device? Unfortunately, I am not a programmer so I am not sure where to even start. But I know there is an SDK available at < http://maemo.org > for the nokia 770. What do you guys think?

DSL = KNOPPIX = Debian = should runBrian AwPhuch Posted by tigan on Dec. 14 2005,19:25
So Brian, are you saying that DSL should run as is? This would be great. Then, all one needs to do is to put DSL into the file system installation package for 770 and we are there!! Anybody that can do this would become an instant hero!! Posted by Justin on Dec. 22 2005,01:13
if that were possible (someone could confirm) i would go and buy a 770 right now!

Keep in mind that DSL and KNOPPIX are based on the Intel ix86 version of Debian.The Debian OS is available for many different types of computer hardware besided just IBM PC compatibles. For example, PowerPC (MAC) and ARM (PocketPC). So in some circumstances DSL = KNOPPIX, but DSL does not = Debian |
