Hi,
I am new to the Netwalker world and I did not find information so far, if it is possible to install lucid lynx on the netwalker (and if yes how). I found the netbook version for i.MX51 boards and now I need some tipps how to get on with the installation. Has anyone installed a newer version of ubuntu to the Netwalker? Are there any instructions on the web (possibly not in Japanese)? |

Well the Ubuntu is version 9.04 for ARM.
There is no newer version available. What I did is add the repro of 10.04, it has ARM packages for example: Firefox OpenOffice LXDE A upgrade won't work though, only some packages. Not the kernel or systemfiles

QUOTE(RX Shorty @ Jul 20 2010, 10:50 AM)  Well the Ubuntu is version 9.04 for ARM. There is no newer version available. Sorry if this is a stupid question: What are the missing things to run a more recent version of ubuntu on the Netwalker. The architecture lucid aims at, is ARMv7 as the Netwalker, there also seems to be a kernel for the imx51? |

Well I didn't try to install a clean lucid.
This because it is not possible to boot from a USB for example  But I also think the drivers are a issue with the new kernel, don't think they are compiled somewhere. |

An updated ARM version of Ubuntu is due out as version 10.07. As the version number suggests it should be out in July, although time is running out.
