This is an archive that contains the portable ubuntu project with an image containing a fully installed Scratchbox.

Warning
the image is 4GB. It will NOT work on a FAT32 filesystem. You have to extract it to a NTFS or EXT2/3 partition.

The goal of this is to provide a working maemo SDK to windows.

Root password is "123456" (without the quotation marks)

It has been tested in Windows 2000 and Windows XP

Since this is a large archive, it is split into 11 parts.

part 1

part 2

part 3

part 4

part 5

part 6

part 7

Total archive size: 0.97 GB (1,050,503,990 bytes)
Total extracted size: 4.05 GB (4,356,487,229 bytes)

Mirror available at qole.maemobox.org/portable-scratchbox

I believe we could make this image smaller by leaving out the Ubuntu desktop entirely. All we need is the dependencies for Scratchbox, really... But I haven't looked at Portable Ubuntu yet to see how hard this would be.

Unfortunately, the documentation is quite bad for the portable ubuntu... you have fun looking into that.

And yes, there is about 500-600 mb of free space in the image. I filled it with 0's to save space when compressing, but yes, it is [theoretically] possible to make a smaller image.
A small comment though: it is quite easy to make a certain image larger (add free space to it), but I am trying to figure a way to make it smaller without loosing any content (so it can fit in a FAT32 USB key).

BTW, if you have Vista (please don't take this as an offense), can you tell if it works as well?



Thanks

hmm I think working on a vmdk would be much better..

I started my self on a vmdk for the german community on n800.de..

the vmdk-image is has a 7zip'd size of 2.6GB, so it's easier to share and it works perfectly with virtualbox.
I know that there is a vmdk of INDT called maemoSDK, too, but first of all the vmdk isn't defragmented, so you have to download the maximum filesize of 20GB.
Mine has a maximum size of 20GB, too but starts at 12.1GB un7zip'd.

I think I will switch from gnome to xfce like INDT, because it will save space and I can use then the freed for firefox, which is needed to upload sources to extras-devel..

and it's pretty fast with ubuntu-jaunty (linux-virtual) on a ext4.
