Yes. I've tried. This thread goes way back to the beginning of the year when I first gave it a shot. I guess I brought it back fro the dead Since I'm more familiar with RPM stuff, and the armel binaries are there, I figured I would give it a shot. It is NOT much fun because Maemo is based on Debian and Fedora initscripts are VERY different.

Certainly it's possible to boot it. Johnx has proved that by getting Debian booting. It will likely take some changes to the Fedora initscripts, and some Debian symlinks to the Fedora init to get the Debian-based initfs to pivot the root properly. Once that has been done everything else should be fairly straightforward. Unfortunately I never had the time to work more on it. Hopefully at least, however, it was this thread that got Johnx going with Debian, or at least helped give him the idea. . .

So far I've been able to install quite a lot of stuff in my Fedora partition, and it all works. Yum, however, is very problematic, and I ended up installing most of the RPMs by globbing them in. I'm hoping that others will give it a shot and help things along. If there are yum problems they need to be reported back to upstream.

It's always good to have multiple distro options.
