[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Maemo Live-CD?

[From: Devesh Kothari]

I was thinking if we could maybe turn the Live CD to mirror more of the
real target hardware i.e like Nokia 770 so that it would be like running
the whole maemo root file system on x86 + development tools but without
the limitations of x86 scratchbox. for example lot of issues come from
the fact that you are not real root in scratchbox, and that becomes a
problem with deamons which access the device nodes etc e.g bluetooth.
Once the live CD boots up, it is like boothing up the x86 version of
Nokia 770 (offcourse somethings would always be missing like the DSP),
and then this live CD could mount the host machine partitions for
developer home directory. Maybe the other option would be UML but last I
checked UML had lacked host USB support (has that changed), so you can
have USB peripherals like Bluetooth dongle, WLAN etc and then you have
an x86 version of the Nokia 770.

Maybe I dont make any sense :)
