aKademy 2006 - Day 1

Day 2 of akademy - things were smoother. I didn’t really pay much attention in the talks but instead decided to hack on embedded Debian and try to bootstrap Debian ARM on my phone. It was… interesting, to say the least.
Sarge appears to be hideously out of date (or the mirror I was using was out of date, but it was ftp.debian.org which would suggest this was the master mirror..). In any case, I managed to get it to boot fine after lots of fighting, but getting kdrive on there was slightly more difficult. I haven’t yet managed it, and I have decided that sarge is way too out of date anyway, so I’ll rebootstrap with Etch. More details to follow when I get somewhere…
In other news, Jessica Hall has decided that she has an irresistible urge to touch my hair. She will be duly punished.
