I am trying to get debdroid to start debian squeeze

The linux.img is in /sdcard/debdroid
After deploy from apk, no vnc or ssh so attempt from term
Term output:
Code:
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$ su
# ash
~ # sh /system/bin/debdroid
Initializing chroot filesystem

which zip and image?

You should really post this in the developers debdroid forum.

Which flashable zip and image did you download?

rename or expand, bash for young

Did you expand the .gz to /sdcard/debdroid and name it linux.img or rename the .gz to linux.img?

not sure how thats supposed to work.

I see that bash is avail for the Young. Not sure why its not in calkulins rom...

Renamed the .gz

First i tried expanding it using estrongs fm. It gave the error "file size mismatch" and the resultant file was only 3.75G. I figured this was not the right way to do it and ended up just renaming the .gz to linux.img. Pretty sure thats how its supposed to go.

Maybe calkulin will include bash in his next rom.

You cannot simply rename the .gz to .img. Extract it on a computer then move it over to your sdcard as /sdcard/debdroid/linux.img. If ash is not working - bash is required because of the way functions are called in the script, however this should solve your issue once you extract the .img from the compressed download.
