| 02:24 | <Damianos> can ltsp-build-client's --mirror option be used to use another distro's install CD?

| 05:00 | <Damianos> alkisg: how can one install another distro that has a completely different file system using ltsp-build-client?
| |
| 05:00 | <alkisg> Damianos: what are you trying to do, specifically?
| |
| 05:01 | <Damianos> have android-x86 run on the clients
| |
| 05:01 | I know...I'm always looking for trouble lol
| |
| 05:01 | <alkisg> OK, start with googling for "debootstrap android"
| |
| 05:02 | (assuming you want to do that from debian/ubuntu)
| |
| 05:02 | <Damianos> yes...ubuntu
| |
| 05:03 | <alkisg> ltsp-build-client uses debootstrap, so if debootstrap doesn't support android, neithr will ltsp-build-client
| |
| 05:03 | So in that (most probable) case you'll need to do a manual installation without ltsp-build-client
| |
| 05:04 | Btw... did you manage to install android in one client LOCALLY, and did it work fine for you?
| |
| 05:04 | <Damianos> I installed android in a vm
| |
| 05:04 | works great so far
| |
| 05:05 | <alkisg> What file system does it use?
| |
| 05:05 | <Damianos> sorry, not file system but file structure
| |
| 05:05 | ext3
| |
| 05:06 | <alkisg> Then I imagine you can start by copying the whole android hierarchy to /opt/ltsp/android
| |
| 05:06 | (instead of ltsp-build-client)
| |
| 05:07 | And after that, to see if you can make android use nfs, nbd, to make the custom initrd that ltsp requires etc
| |
| 05:07 | Making a distro support ltsp is no small task
| |
| 05:08 | Googling for "netboot android" might also give you some insight
| |
| 05:08 | In any case, prepare yourself for some months of work :)
| |
| 05:09 | <Damianos> no problem :)
| |
| 05:10 | lol
| |
| 05:10 | this is the closest to the metal I've ever wandered
| |
| 05:11 | <alkisg> Damianos: on second thought... android doesn't even use X, right?
| |
| 05:11 | Or the PC installation uses X?
| |
| 05:11 | <Damianos> I don't think so
| |
| 05:11 | I'm not sure
| |
| 05:12 | <alkisg> I think you should completely forget about ltsp then,
| |
| 05:13 | and only use the netbooting daemons of ltsp (tftp, maybe nbd or nfs),
| |
| 05:13 | and only focus on "netboot android"
| |
| 05:13 | Which android .iso did you use to install to the VM?
| |
| 05:14 | Hm, or, you could install X on android, I think that's doable :D
| |
| 05:14 | If you get this far enough, you'll be creating your own distro :D
| |
| 05:16 | http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Android
| |
| 05:18 | <Damianos> I used the latest stable 2.2
| |
| 05:22 | <alkisg> From here? http://www.android-x86.org/download
| |
| 05:22 | I can't find the generic stable for 2.2...
| |
| 05:22 | <Damianos> yes
| |
| 05:23 | bottom of the page
| |
| 05:23 | i useed the eeepc
| |
| 05:23 | <alkisg> OK, I'll try that
| |
| 05:23 | Last year when I tried it it was very slow
| |
| 05:24 | <Damianos> I just noticed the keyboard is not working
| |
| 05:25 | lol
| |
| 05:31 | Parker955 is now known as Parker955_Away | |
| 05:34 | <Damianos> are you installing it now ?
| |
| 05:47 | <alkisg> No, I meant in the future, e.g. in a few months
| |
| 05:47 | But it doesn't look like it runs X
