Just got round to giving Linux a whirl on my Titanium where Linux is on an internal SD card. First up, I couldn’t find the application GoLinux anywhere on HardDisc4. Found it for free download on Elesar’s website after another Titanium user gave me the precise link. (It did not appear using Iris with this link or a search of loads of other pages, but did appear using Netsurf! In Iris lots of stuff near the bottom of the page including a link to GoLinux was missing.) Intalled GoLinux, ran it and got a blank screen. How very appropriate for, after opening up the computer, I found the SD card slot ‘blank’! I had thought from the advertising that Linux was included on an SD card, although it doesn’t explicitly say that. I think the advertising should make it clear that Linux is not included. So, to avoid tha hassle of preparing an SD card with Linux on it, it looks as if I will have to cough up a tenner and buy it. |

I use an Elesar card and create a rootfs on SATA SSD … runs faster than the card solution alone. |

I will try the SD card only first. So, in your method, is the Elesar SD card essential in booting into Linux, or do you mean that you used the SD card only to copy across files to the SATA SSD? |

Both. Now I boot the Kernel from SD and switch the rootfs to SSD. |
