[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] external usb devices

[From: Steffen Vogel]

Thx, but now i have installed knoppix on my external usb-hdd. It works great
with maemo. Only booting is not so easily. I have to use a boot floppy.

Sry for my English, I'm a german student ^^.

Changing the base of the live CD to Knoppix won't be a big deal. But size
would grow significantly to about 1100MB which would require a DVD instead
of a CD.

 

The 0.5.1a live CD contains Samba/OpenSSH/Xvnc so its easily possible to
work in your windows environment and just use the live CD for compiling and
running maemo stuff. You may run the live CD in VMware, minimize the window
and connect to the live system over the simulated network. Since VMware
allows to freeze the state of a machine, changes won't get lost.

 

Another way of making the development on Windows easier might be CoLinux. I
will try to find out in the next week, if it is possible to use scratchbox
under CoLinux.

 

Regards,

Mattias
