i wonder if it will be ever possible to have linux in internal vfs drive of T5. from sdcard its not very usable, especially when sdcard can’t be changes…so no way to view images from camera or swap something larger with friends…. anyway, as soon as this will be solved my t5 will become linux pda
IMHO, this should be possible (and is a very good idea which would make the T5 a very good Linux PDA
). Ask on Hackndev.com if that is possible. If not, it should require minor changes at Garux/Cocoboot etc.
last time i asked reply was that there is no nan driver available so its not possible at the moment.
Its a shame that we cant get Wifi working on these palms under linux – we’re so close to having a working system.
Hack n dev has a bunch of good linux for Lifedrive packages to mess around with, if anyone is interested.
