smartbook queries

[Kevin Fenzi]

Greetings.

Finally got f13 running (from sd) on my smartbook. ;)

Some additional questions for those out there with one:

* How do you install to the internal flash? dd and resizefs? I don't
  see a liveinst on the root image.

* I see there's a f14 rc rootfs. Would this work on the smartbook with
  a newer kernel?

* Are there any testing/alpha f15 rootfs/kernels out there yet?

Thanks,

kevin

I haven't copied Fedora the internal flash yet, I keep it as a recovery
system :-)

some work in progress is at http://fedora.danny.cz/arm/efika/ - the
kernel from with_rtc dir works well on smarttop, but doesn't on
smartbook and I need someone with the debug board (which is different
from the smarttop's one) to capture the console log or help otherwise

Or create a new file system and extract a rootfs onto it.

Yes, if your kernel is 2.6.32 or later. I'm planning on cutting a F-14
beta smartbook image this week.

Not really, there's a rootfs for building of hardfp but its not really
designed with a UX but for building packages. On the XO 1.75 we're
seeing good improvements in performance on F-14 over F-13.

Cool. Look forward to trying it out.

i reformatted /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 unpacked the tarballs and  modified boot.scr 
and /etc/fstab then booted off of th internal ssd

right now we can not use anything newer until we get a newer kernel that 
works.
