Zaurus - Other distros support / Re: Linux From Scratch on the Zaurus

Hi Varti

Thanks for updating the post to a new topic. Bit of a troglodyte when it comes to this sort of thing.

I am probably being over ambitious but I do like a challenge. My inspiration comes from looking at other OS's like MorphOS or OpenBSD running on an old iBook G4 (2005) for example. Runs better than Mac OS X Tiger!! Go figure.

I agree that a modern X environment may be a hard ask for the little bugger but maybe there is some other magical graphical UI out there in the digital fairy land that will fit like a glove.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Cheers

Zaurus - Other distros support / Linux From Scratch on the Zaurus

Hi greguu,

I just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work with this. I have dug my old Zaurus SL-C3100 out of the cobwebs to use as a handy dandy learning platform for linux and programming. Not a powerful beast by todays standards but I think that will make it even more fun!!

I am very interested in Linux From Scratch (LFS) and thought your voidz project may be a good starting point to achieve a bespoke LFS system on the Zaurus.

Fingers crossed.

All the best.

Cheers
