Debian on FreeRunner

[Daniel Benoy]

I copied my /etc/pointercal from internal flash (Which can be mounted from within debian as /dev/mtdblock6, I believe)

That worked for me.  :)  Hope that helps.

I wished that the openmoko team used Debian instead of openembedded.. I wish I could just apt-get stuff instead of having to struggle with opkg .. and busybox annoys me sometimes.
