debootstrapping the armadillo 9

Yesterday, I have succesfully debootstrapped the Armadillo 9 SBC. I have used an rpm version of debootstrap as I was using a Fedora core 6 in my host machine.

I have succesfully installed the Debian distribution into the CF card of Armadillo 9 . Package installation into the arm based Armadillo board was very easy .. just apt-get install xorg.. apt-get install enlightenment.

Finally after some scraching of the xorg.conf, I have managed to run the X server on the board and I was able to do what I have dreamt for months..

Running the Enlightenment Window Manager on the Armadillo 9 board!!!  Now I got a small smart computer that I can hold in my palm. Hooo haaa………….
