why debian on a handheld ?
Hi, general questions/comments.
Is debian suitable for handhelds ?
Im sure weve all seen the threads over the years about trying to shrink
base, while i would like to see it happen i think bureaucracy within
debian makes it a very difficult task.
Debian policy makes it difficult to a shrink the system, steps
debian-installer had to make such as the use of udebs were met with
resistance all the way, and still arent considered offical packages.
Getting a debian package for busybox also took a long time.
Do you intend to try to install a normal base system and depend on the
use of compact flash cards or something ?
Openzaurus do a pretty good job with their distribution, what would our
relationship be with them ?
