Installing Debian on an android device
Although I despise such devices, my only experience has been
helping a friend out locating certain settings and installing the proper
software for specific uses.
Lately, a problematic one, ended up in my hands as the owner
gave up on it and purchased a better one. The problem seemed
to be either bad ram cells that the system couldn't probably read
after writing, insufficient ram, or bugs on the system utilizing ram
I thought maybe a debian installation could possibly identify the
issues. It seemed possible, even though there is no root access
on the system. I managed to install debian with a package of
gnu-debian.
Then, after it seemed as a painless successful installation, I
tried to get some gui action. I installed an x-server and up it went.
1 The pointing device doesn't seem to work as described.
2 Through browsing the system from debian I can't find where
android is stored as only the debian installation seem to exist,
although it is clear that android runs as a base still.
3 Would anything past jessie work? Should I try it?
4 It feels like running in VM but it isn't. No root no logins
no user.
