Default [Q] Linux on Advent Vega without chroot

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a method to get a Linux Distribution like Ubuntu or Debian runnig on my Advent Vega or HTC Desire. Both devices do not support the chroot-command which is required in the tutorials out there because the system is something like virtualized.

There might could be a tutorial that shows me how to fastboot into that Linux on an ext-Partition or somewhere. I hadn't found it yet but you may know it better than me.

Thanks in advantage,

i doubt that's possible we can't even run two roms with backing up and restoring. Your best shot is probably a vm style app

No that works. You are emulating the distribution. that's what you can do with chroot. It worked on the Google G1 aka HTC Dream. I had that and I tried that. But with the Vega it does not because of chroot

You have an option to use the official recovery mode or you can install CWM.
