Puppy on smart phones

I was kinda hoping YOU were going to be the one to succeed with puppy on ARM [joking, of course ]

Now would I get upset with you....?

The reason I provided the links was to show a bit of what's going on

Having seen the struggle Mavrothal and ttuuxxx and a few others had getting Puppy OLPC going, it's obvious it's not easy, or someone would have done it

I think ARM 9 debian kernel looks like a possible start point....but what do I know....?

Lobster, I thought touchscreen was working in puppy, and an xorg version update, or config?
Phones don't normally run as root as proprietary code masks console mode unless tweaked/hacked, AFAIK, or maybe that's a different issue??

Number 125 on this list...anyone know Sammy Wu, or what he's done?

Apparently Intel SA1100 using redboot

There are many debian installs that work in Chroot environment on Android smart phones. The back track guys built an Arm version of Backtrack that runs as well. There are tutorials all over the place for doing this. Puppy would be awesome on a phone methinks....

Perhaps this one fits our needs?:

A smartphone which is very open source friendly, filled to the brim with hippie green peace and love ideals, loaded with Android 4.2 but rooted from the start, ready to install alternative OSes like Ubuntu Touch or Firefox OS, blockphone-like in that you are supposed to be able to repair/replace components... read the story behind the project on their site. I like it, I think I want to support the project and order one.
