Offensive Thinking
Internet Thoughtcrime
Today is 9 February 2013. This was once an article about how I installed Debian in a chroot environment on my ASUS Transformer back in 2011. Unfortunately, I seem to have accidentally removed this post at some point, so it got lost. I can’t even find it in my git repository, so I guess I must have written the article, forgotten to commit it to git, and then later, when at some point I removed the whole directory on the webserver to upload a clean version of the website, it got lost.
From today’s perspective, the old blog post is outdated anyway. I’m just putting this placeholder here because sometimes, a helpful soul follows an old link (the post was surprisingly popular) and cannot find the article, so they drop me an email.
In the process I also lost the scripts I wrote for running Debian on the Transformer, but luckily, somebody used the scripts as a basis for a more automatic installation and put it on github. I therefore recommend to look at his scripts instead of this blog post, I haven’t checked them myself though. I’m not running Debian on my Transformer any longer, but if I want to know how things like this are done, normally the XDA Developers forum is a great resource, so go and see if you can find some more information there.
Oh, and sorry for the inconvenience.
