* Is it possible to upgrade whiite to debian 6? I tried updating with apt-get but it showed me a lot of errors while booting and most of the wii's hardware didn't work. --[[User:Jannis234|Jannis234]] 16:43, 13 September 2011 (CEST)+

Does this have things like BusyBox in it and such? Or is it just completely just strictly to make proof? This should be something easy to port stuff to since PPClinux for macs is full of software. [[User:Pinball wizard|Pinball wizard]] 12:17, 28 May 2008 (PDT)

Is it possible to get a copy of Memtest+ running on the wii? I think my wii may be failing and want to test it out before I mess around with the chips

It's my understanding that SD cards via a GC Memory card adapter are accessible on Wii Linux. Therefore we must have access to the hardware (and since SD cards/gc memcards are pretty much the same anyway) Why are GC memory cards unsupported?

I was just browsing the interwebs, and I noticed that Google Chrome OS is a linux-based distro which has support for ARM architectures. Would it be a stretch to say that ChromeOS could be ported to the Wii? Cheers![[User:Kevinevans|Kevinevans]] 02:02, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Links broken; had to use Wayback machine to find out last word from Muzer was over two years ago. Any reason why we should keep it listed and with inaccurate statements like "seems likely Miight will be released early 2010"? [[User:Sshock|Sshock]] 08:21, 4 June 2011 (CEST)

+== Installing Wii-Linux ==
+
+*Can someone help me installing it? I have a 2GB SD card (FAT) with homebrew and the wii-linux boot.dol on it and a 8GB USB-drive. The USB-drive has an ext3 filesystem and I extracted the whiite-files on it. But when I try to start wii-linux through the HBC it says that it can't mount the root filesystem and when I load it through bannerbomb I only get a black screen. What can I do to get it running? --[[User:Jannis234|Jannis234]] 15:10, 9 July 2011 (CEST)
+**I found the problem: Wii-Linux is searching for the root filesystem on sda2 (sd-card) but I installed it on the usb drive (sdb2?). How can I get Wii-Linux to mount the root filesystem form the usb drive and not from the sd-card? --[[User:Jannis234|Jannis234]] 23:01, 9 July 2011 (CEST)
