LuneOS, fka openwebos, finally has been successfully installed on my TouchPad.

What I was missing most is the chance to use the optware feeds.
OPTware is something of a ARM precompiled linux program library.
I first used it on my NSLU2, later on my palm pre and now...

TADAAA



I go optware running on LuneOS
How?
well I recalled the first time I ever installed optware on my palm pre. there was a instruction to manually do so on webos-internals, that was sadly removed when preware came up and nearly automatically installed optware.

Later there was a optware-bootstrap.sh file, which I found on the internet archive. I saved it, and uploaded it to this server.
In LuneOS open Fingerterm and download the file by typing

wget http://netzherpes.de/optware-bootstrap.sh

now execute it by typing

sh optware-bootstrap.sh

this old file is not build by me. i'm just a fiddler with this thing, ... it is by:

# by Jack Cuyler (JackieRipper)
# jack at unixgeeks dot biz

reboot your device and you can enjoy hundrets of available precompiled command line tools

installing things should work with

ipkg-opt install foobar

where 'foobar' is the name of the program you want to install... ;)

now go on and try installing a command line tool like climm or cups...



have fun with this device

P.S.
The old original instruction is still there, its just not linkt anymore on webos-internals.. look: weiterlesen ...
