Ubuntu on APF

If you have an APF27, then it's possible to install and run the Ubuntu distribution (XUbuntu ARM version).

This page will detail the installation process.

Requirements

• an APF27 with at least 128MBytes of RAM
• a SD/MMC card of at least 2GBytes
• coffee or at least something to do meanwhile ;-)

Here we go

• if not already done, install QEMU (this will also install some other needed packages like debootsrap):

$ sudo apt-get install qemu

• then get the [ Ubuntu builder script] and launch it:

$ cd your_armadeus_view
$ mkdir ubuntu && cd ubuntu/
$ wget http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/arm/build-arm-rootfs
$ chmod a+x build-arm-rootfs
