Qimo on Debian Testing

Asked by Jason Tan Boon Teck

I have an old laptop that uses the Transmeta Crusoe microprocessor. It uses code morphing to simulate the x386 processor.

Based on my past experience, only Debian distros were able to get all the devices working correctly, e.g. sound card, etc. while I only get partial successes with Ubuntu and Fedora.

Is it possible to install Debian Testing with XFCE, then place Qimo files on top of it?

It should be possible, none of the qimo-*.deb files contain
arch-specific code. I'm not sure what's involved converting my Ubuntu
packages to Debian ones, but I can't imagine it's that hard.

Where may download the deb files? I am thinking of just installing by dpkg. Is that possible?

You can get the deb files fro http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/q/

But you will have to install the dependencies yourself if you use dpkg.

I am interested in this as well, Debian for the XO is the best alternative to sugar, at the moment. I'Ll report back my success.

Can you help with this problem?
