UbuntuChroot

You need a Ubuntu 11.04 host system.

sudo apt-get install rootstock

sudo rootstock --fqdn touchpad

novacom put file://media/ext3fs/armel-rootfs-201107071349.tgz < armel-rootfs-201107071349.tgz

You need a large-enough ext3fs partition created with Meta-Doctor mounted at /media/ext3fs. Note that the latest optware bootstrap package will also use this if it exists. If you have not already done so you should setup the ext3fs partition to mount at bootup. Instructions can be found on the Meta Doctor page.

cd /media/ext3fs
mkdir ubuntu
cd ubuntu
tar zxvf ../armel-rootfs-201107071349.tgz

cp /etc/resolv.conf ./etc/resolv.conf

mount --bind /dev /media/ext3fs/ubuntu/dev
mount -t devpts none /media/ext3fs/ubuntu/dev/pts
mount -t proc none /media/ext3fs/ubuntu/proc
mount --bind /sys /media/ext3fs/ubuntu/sys
mount --bind /tmp /media/ext3fs/ubuntu/tmp

chroot /media/ext3fs/ubuntu

You need Xecutah from git, and xserver-package from WIDK x_restructure branch. Install both, run Xecutah, and start the X Server.
