SliTaz PPC Linux for the AmigaOne X1000

[xeno74]

I have released a snapshot of SliTaz PPC Linux for the AmigaOne X1000.



SliTaz GNU/Linux is a free operating system working completely in memory from removable media such as a cdrom or CF card or USB key. It is light and speedy. SliTaz is distributed in the form of a initrd.gz that you can easily burn to a cdrom or copy to a CF card or USB key and boot from. When the system is running you can eject the LiveCD or USB key and use your CD drive or USB socket for other tasks. SliTaz PPC is in development yet.

The snapshot includes:

- BusyBox 1.21.1 and SliTaz base configuration to boot the system
- automatical network configuration at boot time
- bc-1.06 - Text mode calculator
- zlib-1.2.8 - Compression libraries
- pcre-8.33 - Perl-compatible regular expressions
- e2fsprogs-1.42.8 - Filesystem management utilities
- Dropbear-2013.60 - Lightweight SSH client and server

Note: SliTaz PPC has still not a desktop. It's an experimental system for experienced users.

You can boot it with following commands:

CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs cf0:slitaz10.gz

CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-3.12
