Default [Chroot] Chroot scripts for lg optimus. Run ubuntu ,debian or meego from Android

These are the scripts I have running on my phone to chroot to any image. Simply extract to / sdcard/bt5, copy the image you want to run and rename bt5.img

Then from the terminal run:
su
cd sdcard/bt5
sh bootbt

I encourage anyone who wants to upload your own images optimized for the display of the Optimus.

Chroot 'jails' another linux distro inside your android using the same kernel.

For example I use chroot with my Multimedia HD (Blusens T50, a Emtec Q800's brother) in order to have a debian distro plenty of space (the chroot is a external space to mount into the system) also updatable. Then, I can install in my case an ftp server, a torrent client, etc...

Regards.
