Wow, it was under $1000 when I paid this morning.

Also interesting that someone paid $500. And 3 others, >= $200.

Also, Gish is x86-64, the rest x86-32 (except World of Goo, which works with either).

The ISS crew time needed to deal with mundane crap caused by their poorly designed computer infrastructure is, however, absurdly expensive.

Solved problem from the 1970's. Answer: UUCP.

I suspect that NASA doesn't run servers on the ISS though. Their computer model seems to be ancient, proprietary, space-hardened embedded stuff for mission critical needs, and a pile of disposable laptops for crew needs. That's probably crippling their network infrastructure in many ways.

Every app you run, when it was started, when it was closed.

If an app crashes, the fill list of installed apps (including homebrew); plus information like df, ps, etc.

LunaSysMgr has a hook in it to palm://com.palm.contextupload/contextUpload

There is a "contextupload" ipkg; all it contains is the daemon and dbus hook.

I haven't found which piece handles writing to /var/context/ yet.

So FWIW, I have "Background Data Collection" set to off, that did not stop the Pre sending those logs to Palm. I'm sure that that switch does prevent sending your location info to the Google, which makes it doubly unsettling that it's still sent to Palm, no?

I actually have the backup service enabled, but I would not expect it to "back up" my GPS location,
and the data collection I found is pretty clearly not done as part of that backup.

Here is the actual code from the bootdeb script.

I particularly like how init is "started" before the kernel is "booted". The "automounter" is also a nice touch. It's also impressive how the kernel boots in exactly 1 second every time.

echo "Custom Linux Pseudo Bootstrapper V1.0 - by Mark Walker"
echo "WEB: http://www.androidfanatic.com/"
echo "EML: admin@androidfanatic.com"
echo " "
sleep 1
echo "Starting init process"
sleep 1
echo "INIT: Debian booting....."
sleep 1
echo "Running Linux Kernel"
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
sleep 1
echo "AutoMounter started"
sleep 1
echo "Type EXIT to end session"
echo "Make sure you do a proper EXIT for a clean kill of Debian!"
echo " "

chroot $mnt /bin/bash

On the other hand, my prediction re debootstrap was wrong. Rather than just use the shell script as designed, the creator of this thing ships an entire pre-built debian system that's chrooted into. Amusingly, this includes a root/.bash_history showing every command he ran while setting it up. (It also includes 104 mb of cached debs in /var, etc.)

Anyway, very amusing.

All the video shows is debootstrap being run in a terminal on, presumably, a G1 phone.

Since debootstrap is a shell script that builds a debian chroot and is designed to be run on any linux system, that is not a significant accomplishment, is it?

That's the "installer" portion. The "bootloader" portion would appear to consist of something like:

#!/bin/sh
chroot /debian

Anyway, it's nice to see interest in running Debian on these devices, I guess..
