pm me when that happens? (the text-editor/word processor)
Sure, I'll send ya a pm! and if you'd like, you can join EFNet and join #bliight to see my bitching
about how slow it's going in realtime!
bert can typically be found on EFNet as well I think, though I don't know if he has a channel yet, but I see him in #wiidevot right now, seems a decent enough place to ask him questions about it.
Muzer and I are also in #wiilinux as well, so pick your poison. The install instructions for all distros are the same because all the kernel .dol does is find a /bin/init program on your second sdcard partition and executes it. So basically, you could put any distro there if you could fit it in that space (redhat, ubuntu, etc) but you have to do the "install" on another computer to get it going. Gentoo
is perfect for this with it's stage3 packages and that is one reason I chose it.
Not only can you write to sdcards, but you can also plug in pendrives, usb external harddrives, whatever you'd like via usb, I believe the kernel supports up to 15 devices on usb hubs (but you do NOT get insert notification when something is plugged into a hub, you must BOOT WITH THE DRIVE CONNECTED IF YOU'RE using a hub) (It's a limitation of how the ios handles usb)
In the future, when bootmii is around and such, you'll start to see more powerful and more integrated wii linux kernels popping up that will allow us to do all the things you can do on a normal linux kernel, until then we just have to gimp it, but it's certainly usable.
