excellent! its nice to ee some progress.
I am sure i remember seeing something abut running linux in the background on teh transformer and connecting to it via VNC while still in android. Am I going mad or did I actually read this somewhere? Sounds quite a useful way of accessing things to me. If it's actually around coud somebody poitn me to the post please?
Good job! So, if I understand correctly you put it on the recovery partition(partially) and then boot via volume down + power ? Can you provide instructions on how to put this thing on our transformers and possibly a bin file(s).
I am dying to boot ubuntu on my tablet. Thanks in advance.
http://androidadvocate.com/?p=339 follow this.
when you get to this line "vncserver -geometry 1024×800" use 1280x750 instead.
Also, you need to root your device. Just install PRIME v1.5 ROM, it's already rooted.
Thanks
I'll follow it this evening. I did teh Pure root version the other day so Im good to go as far as the root bit is concerned hopefully
You'll also need a busybox. There are multiple installers on the market.
Just sitting down to have a crack now. Can't remember why but something else I installed needed busybox so thats already on.
Tried the version in that ink and for some reason it dind't allow me to use apt-get, just didn't now the command. Now that I had taht lnk and was remonded it was called chroot I've found teh xda version so I'm just transfering a 3gb image to my transformer from my NAS and I'll have anoter go.
Wish me luck!
with some editing to the flash.cfg you could put the ubuntu kernel into recovery, the kernel is slightly larger than what recovery allows, but a normal android kernel for the device fits without editing into recovery.
My current layout is RECOVERY (5) android kernel, LNX (6) ubuntu kernel, mmcblk1p1 rootfs.
here is the boot.img I use. this will boot to the first partition on your uSD, this can be edited using abootimg by changing the command lines root= arguement. This kernel is for a raw ext4 partition on your sd card.
Please do not mirror this, it is far from complete, and I am not going to supply full instructions at the moment, if you know what you are doing it is pretty straight forward, otherwise wait until the next version I release with a few usability fixes
apt-get is package installer for debian-based systems. So, it will only be available when you chroot into ubuntu. If it's not, then you are probably not inside chroot.

didnt look in to this but what is the size dif in boot and recovery?
