Hi, I brought a Zaurus 5500 recently and I'm trying to find out what ROM suits my needs best. I like the idea of having Debian running on my Zaurus without any chroot-jail.So, is there any need to to have Debian chrooted, or would it be possible to install it on a SD-card normally, and use the card as the root, probably doing a pivot_root, or even by compiling a kernel with root=/dev/mmcda1? Compiling opie and gpe on Debian should be possible, so both could be used. (There are some gpe-packages in testing/unstable, so this has been done at least partialy). And my last question: When it is possible to do a "native" debian install, what binaries of a Sharp/OE ROM are needed, are there any binaries that are Zaurus specific? Bye, Christian
