Hello! I need some help: I've got a small Netbook, and managed to cdebootstrap a full Debian Sid System onto an SD-Card, which by now contains a full blown system. What I'd love to know is: 1) Is it possible to start a Linux-installation from a running Linux system in the same way as Loadlin starts a Linux System from within a running AmigaOS or Windows? 2) In case that is possible, then my next question comes up: The Netbook is running on a Marvell XScale PXA272 Processor - Which Kernel should I install on the new System? 3) And, when it is possible to make the System run thus from the SD-Card, I wanted to know if it is possible to make it possible that the system is starting the SD-card based system when the card is present at boot time, and else use the original system when the card is not inside the device.
As a Bootloader the Device seems to use a Redboot-Bootloader, but so far I am unable to make sure that's the case - besides, I do not know how to make any changes to a RedBoot based System. The device I am working with is a little jewel of a netbook, coming not only cheap but, yes, I have already disassembled it and put it back together, with a very sturdy mechanical and electrical design. Any help appreciated, and when you need particular informations, do tell me which you need and, maybe, how to retrieve them. -- Rüdiger Leibrandt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
