This directory contains filesystem images for use with ChDistro for Android
http://sf.net/p/chdistro-droid/ (or similar projects).

For the time being (and possibly at all, as I don't want to overload
hoster with too big files), this contains:

Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope" ARMv5 "small" image

Ubunti 9.04 is not the freshest, but was selected because it is one and
only Ubuntu release which supports ARMv5 CPU architecture. This allows
this iamge to be used even with low-end, cheap Android tablets.

The image was produced using the following command:

sudo rootstock \
        --fqdn ubuntu \
        --login ubuntu \
        --password ubuntu \
        --imagesize 1500M \
        --dist jaunty \
        --mirror http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ \
        --components main,universe,multiverse \
        --seed tightvncserver,mc,openssh-server \
        --keepimage \
        --copy-package-cache \
        --restore-package-cache

It's almost equivalent to "ubuntu-minimal" images, but ~30Mb less than it
(again, saving hoster's and users' download resources). It contains pretty
complete console environment (gcc, python, Midnight Commander) and bare
X11 VNC server, but no any GUI environment or window manager. If you are
interested in GUI, you will need to install it using apt-get.

You can reda more about rootostck tool used to create this filesystem at

Project pages at http://sf.net/p/chdistro-droid/ may provide links and
instruction for getting/creating filesystems for other Ubuntu versions
and other distibutions.
