I've already checked my post for spelling mistakes.

and thanks everyone!

It's good to finally see a dev who cares to do a project like this. I wish I had the time to contribute. Maybe after I'm done with univ and fail at trying to find a job I will. Thanks for all the hard work anyways.

So I'm running CM7...
sh debian.sh seemed to complete just fine. (I even went step by step to confirm since there's a 'clear' in there).
but...
sh debdroid gives me:

# debdroid
function: not found
modprobe: chdir(2.6.37-cyanogenmod-01174-gaa3cf65): No such file or directory
debdroid: 47: Syntax error: "}" unexpected
#

I'm decent with linux but a noob with bash (or any coding). It seems like a function is missing (or I did something wrong).

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do I see gentoo around ther corner?

easy1600, from the way your output is, it looks like you're not in a bash shell, but just the su sh shell. exec the command bash then exec debdroid. Thank you for trying it out.

As for Gentoo, I've been using Debian for years and never messed about too much in other distros other than arch. Though if you can get an ARM Gentoo img this method can be tweaked to work with any ARM img really.


Update: Here's a WIP of the Debtop software which will allow basically the same functionality of the Motorola Atrix Webtop software.


This vnc session is all through USB with no interaction over the wlan though it has the ability to work with vnc over ssh tunnel.

Sweet! It works and I get tab completion in android (that bugged the hell out of me). Thanks!
