[Gc-linux-devel] Ubuntu: Wii Remix?

[James L. <cop...@gm...>]

'Lo list:

Though I've never tried to hack together a modified operating system,
I wanted to know if something is feasible related to Ubuntu Linux.

For starters, I am well aware of the memory restrictions on the Wii.
We can skip that part when it comes to me not thinking.

However, there are many different builds of Ubuntu, and I was
wondering if a modified Xubuntu running minimum with a lighter window
manager, such as Blackbox or even the basic X11 we all love, would be
reasonable? From the Ubuntu docs, it seems that Xubuntu itself used to
run (terribly) on only 64mb RAM, albeit with terrible response. My
idea would either invovlve creating a new windowing system for Ubuntu
on the 10-foot paradigm or using something similar to one of the
previously mentioned builds.

Is this feasible? If so, what parts of the base Linux Kernal, exactly,
have you guys ported to the Wii and what parts of a distribution
source do I need to change to use/include them?

Thanks for your help,
