Hi All,
Maybe somebody could give me a hint on this. I hope it's not
something obvious.
For my own benefit, I'm attempting to rebuild the Red Hat rpms
targeting armv5tel, so that I may use Trinity on my Toshiba AC100.
I'm working through the main install requirements in order to get a
basic install so I've done tqtinterface, arts, dbus-tqt, dbus-1-tqt,
tdelibs along with all the requires but can't get past tdebase.
Hello,
I'm very interested by your results, since I own a Toshiba AC100 too.
How does RedSleeve behave on AC100 ? Is it fast enough to be daily
usable ? How do you install it ?
I've already tried Ubuntu 12.04 armhf which works good, but alas I do
not like Ubuntu ;-) and there is no TDE release for 12.04.

Hi Francois,
Red Sleeve behaves really well, I'm impressed. I am, by default, a
debian user really and haven't used Red Hat based distros for a few
years but so far so good. Like you, I don't like Ubuntu (in fact, I hate
it) and if I wasn't intentionally trying to get used to Red Hat again, I
would have put debian on the AC100.
With regard to speed, its fine. I have used kde4 on the AC100 with Red
Sleeve and it is surprisingly good (I've never been a fan of kde4 so
far) and I will stick with it if I don't succeed with TDE, though I do
expect to succeed, eventually :) Gordon Bobic created some really good
kernel patches enabling (completely safe) overclocking to 1200MHz
without any hardware mods. 1450MHz with hardware mods.
Installing is a doddle, especially if you have already put Ubuntu on it.
A rootfs is provided by RS.
If you want more detailed info, contact me off list.
Cheers,
Mike.
