The difference between what you need for a phone and what Pure Blends can offer was looked at during DebConf8 - a Pure Blend is still aimed at a desktop machine, it's about collections of existing packages. Emdebian focuses on providing smaller versions of existing packages in ways that are better suited to small systems. > You want to start with em-debian. www.emdebian.org/grip/ Also the pkg-fso team: http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianFSO > > - Provide an environment for handheld and netbook devices > > + example: the Nokia N900 > > Well, I would like to have something working for my N770. The main barrier for Emdebian on mobiles is the relative lack of suitable packages - and developers with time to add the packages that do exist outside Debian (along with a few problems from some of those packages just not being sufficiently stable to put into Debian at the moment.) -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
