(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

The Raspberry Pi will be available very soon. You can download the image file of a Debian distro for the RP here.

Does anyone know anything about using QEMU on Puppy? I was wondering if there was a way of running this OS in a VM.

Ruddy reddy and . . . where is my Pi?

Why is Raspberry Puppy so much fun? (allegedly)
It means we have to become smaller (as an ISO)
friskier (limited CPU) and . . . we have to work for that discerning customer known as yut (rhymes with hoot)

Can we do it?
Let me think . . . . . .

Oh yeah!

Can't wait. My browser's home-page is set to the R Pi shop. Fingers crossed we get one of the first batch!

it should be possible

maybe start here
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/qemu

edit, this link might help

Thanks, darkcity. I tried to compile qemu from source and it didn't work. I'll try the ready-made options!

OK I have a SD card ready and the Debian ISO . . . is a Puppy ISO available anywhere? no? OK then I need to use dd?
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/dd

Do I need to use fdisk first? I have Lucid on the SD card. Could I just delete the existing files?
Would I be better off downloading the Fedora image? Is it available?
Has anyone used dd to create an image?

Is this the info I need? Sounds like uber-geekery to me . . .

In this post on the RPi site, they mentioned this website, which has another Raspberry Pi image and instructions which make it sound very easy:

Qt Creator for Raspberry Pi

This image is a basic environment which includes the Qt Creator toolset for makeing Qt and QML programs

unzip the bz2 image and write to sdcard, extract the tgz to the dos partition, place in the Pi

I will upload a single image with the dos-part-files included and also make it fit a 2GB card soon

enjoy

vgrade 16.11.11

This is QtDesktop running ontop Openbox

Interesting they are using Qt
