Hacking [Whiite Linux Installer] Is there a way to use it without usb keyboard

[Dr.Tenma]

Hey,
First of all, my english isn't that good...So sorry if my sentences don't make sense.
I got finally my wii back, and i want to install linux, but i ain't any usb keyboard, so tought if there is a version with virtual keyboard use.
Thank's in advance

 

[Dr.Tenma]

Also...Is it possible to install linux only with wiimote using Whiite Linux InstalleR ?

 

[Richy Freeway]

Urrrrrm... Why do you think they specify a USB keyboard as a REQUIREMENT?

 

[kimikal27]

he as a point

 

[Dr.Tenma]

Because i read it on linux's page on Wiibrew, it says :
"Accessories needed: Computer running Linux, SD card with a FAT16 and an ext3 partition, USB keyboard"
By the way, is it required for Whiite linux Installer ?
Thank's !

 

[Richy Freeway]

Accessories NEEDED.

That means you need them. As in you can't proceed without them. You'll not be able to install it unless you have it. Lacking said items would result in you being unable to follow the installation procedure.

In a nutshell, no keyboard = no linux.

"Accessories needed: Computer running Linux, SD card with a FAT16 and an ext3 partition, USB keyboard"

Buy one of those USBtoPS/2 converters. They're cheap and they work great. No need to buy a USB keyboard for linux.
