Accessing Linux on the Pre or the Pre Emulator
The Palm Pre is a Linux based device. Palm provides a simple method to access Linux running on the Pre or the Pre Emulator.Once you have access to Linux, everything else is a process of installing a community standard library of Linux programs so that users have the same tools and options available to them. Once this is process is completed, pretty much anything you can do on a Linux box you can also do on the Pre or the Pre Emulator.
The following procedures will walk you through the process of obtaining access to Linux on the Pre or the Pre Emulator, and installing the community standard software packages.
Before you startPlease make a note of this page: How To Recover If you are unfamiliar with basic Linux command usage, you should visit this page: Basic Linux Use You might also want to consider backing up any files you have in the usb drive portion of the Pre. |
