UbuntuChroot

You need a Ubuntu 11.04 host system.

sudo apt-get install rootstock

sudo rootstock --fqdn touchpad

novacom put file://media/ext3fs/armel-rootfs-201107071349.tgz < armel-rootfs-201107071349.tgz

You need a large-enough ext3fs partition created with Meta-Doctor mounted at /media/ext3fs. Note that the latest optware bootstrap package will also use this if it exists.

cd /media/ext3fs
mkdir ubuntu
cd ubuntu
tar zxvf ../armel-rootfs-201107071349.tgz

cp /etc/resolv.conf ./etc/resolv.conf

mount --bind /dev /media/ext3fs/ubuntu/dev
mount -t devpts none /media/ext3fs/ubuntu/dev/pts
mount -t proc none /media/ext3fs/ubuntu/proc
mount --bind /sys /media/ext3fs/ubuntu/sys
mount --bind /tmp /media/ext3fs/ubuntu/tmp

chroot /media/ext3fs/ubuntu

You need Xecutah from git, and xserver-package from WIDK x_restructure branch. Install both, run Xecutah, and start the X Server.
