@Daniel don’t use gParted. I had the same problem. Try using mkfs.vfat and mkfs.ext2

Thanks alot!
right, I completely forgot, those distros are x86!!!.
I never understood why debian supported all those CPUS , but now I really think I’ll appreciate it!!!!
I’ve got hi hopes for this thing.
I really think tablets are overpriced, and lack freedom.
If we could unleash the power of choice we have on PC’s to these little nifty devices it could change
I hate android’s sandbox. Sandboxes are for babies. hehehehhehe

I’ve got high hopes,also because i really understand the limitations of this machine, i really want debian just for very light prgs.

Terminal
VI editor
comix comic book reader
rtorrent text based bitorrent client
Mok music player
pdf support
openbox window manager
3g support
vlc
iceweasel+flash support
thunderbird/icedove
A supe lightweigt diagram program (ala DIA, but lighter…)

Do you think I have chances of compiling and using succesfully ths stuff?

I’m worried mostly about icedove, it’s pretty heavy for a machine like this…

I already use these programs on cruchbang based on debian, on a 2002 pentim-M 2.4ghz with 640mb of ram. my conky system monitor tells me that used memory rarely goes above 140mb, it’s usually around 80-100mb (and i’ve got a heavy system, with Xfce too!!!)

That’s what convinced me to givr it a try. you think my hopes are exaggerated?

Hi Giovanni,

Sorry, the slatedroid site broke their static links several times and I stopped trying to update it.

This forum has all of the info that exists (AFAIK), and links to downloads:
http://www.slatedroid.com/eken-m001-debian/

Will update the link in the post, as well.

AFAIK puppy & crunchbang are both x86-only, but jacob’s slimline Debian port is quite light also. :)

The title refers to a jacob stoner ekon debian build with x11 and touchscreen.
Can someone point me to it on js’ site there is nothing regarding the ekon.
I would really love to see a superlight distro like puppy or crunchbang work on this. I know it’s possible. THey work well with 256mb of ram.
Hope someone comes up with it.

Thanks!!
