    Well, after spending 2 hours scrolling and digging here's interesting link, i guess it was not mentioned before. It installs Debian on arm wmt8505, so with proper will you may make it install Ubuntu as well. Good Luck all

    Re: Linux on 7" mini netbook ARM-VT8500 ?

    Hello gents.
    I recently purchased one of these fancy little netbooks, and I kind of wanted to join in the fight.

    For every OS/Update/flash I attempt, I seem to get an error message like massproduction.bat not found. This appears when the command prompt comes up, before the operating system even loads.

    It's frustrating because everything that works for everyone else, does not seem to work for me.

    Here's the processing info:
    Processor

    • Processor Type: VIA ARM 32bit CPU
    • Processor Clock Speed: 266M Hz
    • Processor/Manufacturer: VIA
    • Processor Model: VIA-ARM 920

    Kid, dwinston91 has not posted for 9 months. So if you want that file, you have to tell us what its name is.

    Question Re: Linux on 7" mini netbook ARM-VT8500 ?

    I've managed to get my netbook to boot linux thanks to WendyB's instructions but as my touchpad is busted (doesn't work in Wince either) I'm unable to test the GUI. How do I persuade my usb mouse to work?

    I searched that word above and it brings you to the proper

    machines.

    here is that operating system file for download.

    http://www.daupara.de/wm8505_linux/extpart.tgz

    Basically, your link shows FOUR versions of linux for these
    netbooks. There is infact a FIFTH version now which is free
    and is based on Gentoo and works on vt8500 chip machines.

    The best Linux for the wm8050 machines is what i have listed
    above here.

    I wonder if this Debian Linux above will work on wm8650 chip
    machines. It's a faster newer chip inside netbooks

    Thanks

    Vince.
    Hello everybody,

    after hours of work i finally managed to boot this Distribution posted in the Link above.
    Now I don't know the Login data. Please could somebody post Login and password?

    Thanks to everybody.

    root/toor

    If that does not work, search for passwordless login, and change /etc/passwd /etc/shadow on the SD card

    Hey guys, I recently dusted off my mini crap book because while browsing the android maarket on my phone, I found multiple apps that install linux flavors to phones. The requirements match that of our little netbooks so if youre able to install the new 2.2 version that has been made available to us (at bentolinux.org or earlier in this thread) then you should be able to use this app that installs linux inside android. I have yet to try but I will be back as soon as I do, good luck!
