Do you have touch accuracy with the distro you show?


Yes, my thick thumbs can select from menu and positioning the cursor by touch works.

This linux distro is running under android chrooted.

EDIT
.... and magnifying by touch is also working

WattOS

I'm running Watt, it fits great on a thumbdrive and is very puppy-ish. I'm impressed so far. It is not as usable out of the box as Puppy but the performance is on par I want to say.

I subscribe to this thread and now, whenever it calls me here, I feel a pain, looking for nooby's posts that always asked if the latest distro would do a usb install...

Sigh,
