Ive seen the one site that trys to explain how-to put linux on the PSP but I cant follow it. If anyone has done this and can point me to the files and direct me that would be really great.

All I want to do for now is get linux up and running on my PSP, I downgraded to 1.5 so im all good on the homebrew thing.
So if anyone can just point me to the files and explain it to me, or maybe an installer that does it automatically thatd be great too.

Or maybe someone can just tell me what this guy is talking about ( http://www.hacker.co.il/psp/bochs/ ) and tell me where all of theese files he is telling me about are.

Why would you want to put linux on a PSP? I can understand someone wanting to do it as an initial challenge - but whats in it for you?

As I already stated here, sounds like a waste of time. : /

Windows 95 actually runs quite well but don't expect it to be a speed demon. It takes about 10 minutes to boot but afterwards it's pretty usable. I was able to do things like: open "My computer" and browse the virtual hard drive, complete a whole game of Minesweeper and run various other applications. Now you too can get your Minesweeper fix on the go

I've also tested DLX Linux which comes pre-packaged with Bochs and it works just fine. However, I couldn't do much with it because there's no keyboard support. If you want to do your word processing on it then wait until keyboard support is implemented (though I doubt it will be any fun using the joystick).

In windows, mouse handling is extremely difficult. I suspect it has something to do with the "boost" feature windows has. Once you get the mouse moving it will keep moving in that direction even when you're trying to move to a different direction. The solution is to counter the movement by moving to the opposite direction. It's sort of like trying to push the mouse the other way in order to stop it."



Looks like an early beta port, perhaps wait a while before you attempt something like this.
The features limit keyboard support and mouse is haywire as stated above.

Well, if you can get to the start menu, there's a virtual keyboard you can use.

Start>Programs(all Progs)>Accessories>Accessibility>On-Screen Keyboard
