Slackware inside Pandora.


Same touchscreen problem with this new xorg.conf file.
Had to change omap -> fbdev because of the "OMAP ERROR: Could not read chipset" error.
 
I compiled like ~400 Cortex-A8/Neon/Pandora-optimised packages, I'm currently uploading them to:

Base and base-more are shipped in the rootfs, extra aren't.
There is no dependencies management, check requisites on the https://slackbuilds.org/ website.
I ship the slapt-get and gslapt utilities (yet untested for the 15.0) to download/install these pre-compiled packages.

See the documentation:
 
Awesome, going to give it a try! Emacs is installed as default package right?
 
Yes, it's in the standard Slackware packages.
The rootfs still has a lot of problems. The OS is very slow on CC Pandora (don't have a rebirth), ok on 1GHz.
Nubs and touchscreen are not usable, so for graphical mode, options left (for now) are external mouse or vnc.
 
Quick response: thanks! Will try asap.
Sorry, took longer than anticipated.
Now, this makesd command bakes a bootable µSD as described:
Code:
DEV=/dev/sdb makesd -f ext3-j -s 95 -r https://slackware.openpandora.org/pandora/sl4p/sl4p-15.0/rootfs/SL4P-15.0-alpha2.tar.xz -f swap -s 5
It boots but is indeed very slow and needs approx 120s to boot to a login: (typically I see less than 30s). No idea why.
There are also some error messages to be looked at and which could indicate a problem.
