Wait with that.
Couple of questions first.
Your image has one of the same problems that mine also had: a profile problem that somehow I did not manage to get solved, within the chroot. I don't know what the problem is yet. Have you encountered this yourself?
Flags. Have any flags been set?
It looks to me as if there should be a better solution than just increasing the image size.

Sorry to come in with this but I can't seem to make Ubuntu run. I downloaded the image (had to take it off and decompress on the desktop though) and put that in MyDocs. Installed the .deb and rebooted. When I try to click on Ubuntu LXDE, it acts like it wants to start and then quits.
Any ideas on how to make it work? I can access chroot in the terminal for Ubuntu but don't know what I might do to make it work there.

Hi all I have manage to port ubuntu, fedora, and archlinux just like easy-debian. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izZ_eSUtBQo
First of all let me thanks to qole for the job he has done , I modify the scripts he used to run Meego in Xephyr in order to run this linux distros
WARNING: Do this at your own Risk!!!
There are still so much work to do, this is a work in progress project so keep that in mind if you want to install this
So lets go, first of all, you need this:
* Easy-chroot installed
* Easy-Debian (not necessary but recommended)
* Rootsh and nano installed on the device
Please follow all the steps in orden, pay special attention in the locations of the files.

.I donīt know where you got the image, but I noticed no negative USE flags had been set in /etc/make.conf. I assume that to be the reason we ran out of space here. So, Iīll increase the image and retry a new emerge --sync to get up to date and install a WM.
Travel safe!

It is along the lines of having "no image file or partition specified." and there is no directory in /media/mmc1/ubuntu.img though I know the file is actually in MyDocs. I might try copying it to the card and rebooting and hoping for it to work.
This image really needs some work. Tried an emerge --sync which ran for an hour, but tried to sync the whole repository and ran out of space. Will look into it later and report back. Thanks nevertheless.
