According to my tests, loop is a bit faster than dm-loop (and both are very close to raw hardware speed), though I don't see anything in the change logs between 2.6.21 and 2.6.28.

Anyway, the modules are here:

Honestly, that is shocking to me... I was looking forward to a speed boost with dm-loop that we apparently aren't going to get.

Thanks anyway, Matan.

I guess I will focus on the new image file.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 
I didnt want to start a new thread or try to get off course, but would it be possible to use Android in the same type of way you have Debian setup to run within Maemo/Fremantle? A detailed answer would be nice, but I'll understand if its not.

Thanks

bdogg64: I honestly don't know. Theoretically, it is possible, if someone found a compatible rootfs (perhaps NITDroid? Any other ARM Android tarballs floating around?). It certainly would be interesting. I wish that Ubuntu guy who was working on Dalvik would put his work into the Ubuntu repositories, so we could get it for our devices, too...

A speed tip: change your mounting dir from /debian to /.debian so tracker, the Maemo media indexer, stays out of your chroot.

I'm changing this in the next version, but until then you can do it yourself.

I know how to build an ARM Android tarball, I'm just don't know how to pull much of the rest of the pieces together. Thanks for the response. Keep up the good work!

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 
Thanks to a post in the Diablo thread, I was reminded to map the LXDE "window move" function on the N900. I have settled on the Ctrl-. (Ctrl and period) combination. Any objections?

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 
More tips:

- enable blue keys on N900 keyboard in LXDE: copy /usr/share/X11/xkb directory to your chroot

- speed up OpenOffice: kill help agent, turn off Java, stop autocompletion of words.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 
What is the best way to resize the easy-debian filesystem? I have an 8GB ext2 microsd and can't figure out how to expand it with your rootfs.

Re: Easy Debian Fremantle Beta Testing
 
techdork: I recently answered your question in the Easy Debian Diablo thread, in this post.

EDIT: Note that I have also uploaded a rootfs file at qole.org/files as well: debian-squeeze-m5-rootfs.tar.gz
