question
« on: October 05, 2009, 02:35:53 PM »
greetings to the community as a whole as this been my first post on this forum;

i've read some articles and reviews about the amazing features of this really small distro and perhaps it was asked before, but i have this curiosity (if you will laugh about my question go ahead i wont mind  ;D ): with such a small size it is possible to boot from, shall i say, a mobile phone, a nokia or an iphone for example used as storage devices and connected to a notebook/PC via cable data of course with some additional settings?

best regards and keep up the good work !

It all depends on whether or not the phone is a bootable device under your computer's BIOS.

If the phone can be put to usb-storage mode, it should work just like an usb stick. Of course the phone might not like installing a bootloader to its MBR :P

If the phone shows an microsd card instead of its own storage, you should be able to mess with partitions and bootloaders just fine.

The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
