Other distro on Bubba?

Post by Peat »

I would like to run ClarkConnect or SMEserver on my BubbaII. Can i do this by putting Bubbas HD in another computer (with a display!), install the preferred distro, and then mount the HD back into Bubba. WIll this work, or is there another way?

It would most certainly be possible to run other distros on the Bubba|Two but its no walk in the park. If you are serious about this you should probably read some of this:

u-boot (bootloader)

Hardware platform reference

Then find out if the distro you want to run will even boot on something like that. If it does and you are prepared to put in some hard work then go for it. If it doesnt, walk away...
