Title: question
Post by: sample on October 05, 2009, 05:35:53 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.
