Feb 09 17:15:32 <geppettvs> hello
Feb 09 17:17:30 <geppettvs> well... I have a Palm Zire 72, and I have seen lots of stuff over the net referring to the "Hack&Dev" website, which seems to be returning 404 errors.
Feb 09 17:17:53 <geppettvs> What I wish to do is to run a Linux Distro on my Palm, as those shown on the videos/websites
Feb 09 17:17:57 <geppettvs> any help is appreciated
Feb 09 17:34:33 <Marex> geppettvs: the kernel is mainline, you can multistrap a stock debian on the device
Feb 09 17:35:47 <geppettvs> well... I have been in unix/linux for PC for several years, but to be frank, I am not the kind of experienced on palms
Feb 09 17:36:20 <geppettvs> I have seen ready-to-use linux distros which can be placed in SD card, but none of these seems to work on the Zire 72
Feb 09 17:37:20 <geppettvs> I have tried the first of this list http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~miska/TX.tgz
Feb 09 17:37:22 <geppettvs> with no success
Feb 09 17:38:14 <Marex> well ... these tend to be ancient
Feb 09 17:38:35 <Marex> you just need to multistrap armel debian ... and compile kernel, which you in turn load with cocoboot bootloader
Feb 09 17:39:35 <geppettvs> I see...
Feb 09 17:40:09 <geppettvs> I downloaded a version in cnet, opie, I remember... but couldn't compile
Feb 09 17:40:31 <Marex> well if you want opie image, compile yourself one with OpenEmbedded
Feb 09 17:41:00 <Marex> but last time I talked with Paul, he said final release will be this year and then Opie will be EOL
Feb 09 17:41:47 <geppettvs> oh well... I think I will test EOL when released... but now I don't feel like breaking my brain with compiling... I was thinking about a pre-compiled version or something...
Feb 09 17:42:21 <Marex> shrug
Feb 09 17:42:52 <geppettvs> lol!
Feb 09 17:43:05 <geppettvs> I will continue my search
Feb 09 17:43:14 <geppettvs> :D thank you anyway
