finally got all the HW bits together and, following along here:
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Lucid_10.04.1
"installed" lucid 10.04.1 on my xM from the prebuilt image (at least
for now). sweet. as a quick summary, connected both USB keyboard and
mouse to the xM, and using a 1600x900 gateway LCD display. set up my
SD card with:
$ sh setup_sdcard.sh \
--mmc /dev/sdb \
--uboot beagle \
--swap_file 50 \
--addon pico [since i have a v1 pico projector]
and it just worked (haven't tested the pico yet). all of the above
was done on a fully-upgraded, pre-maverick release of ubuntu on my
build host. no surprises, it just worked. thank you, robert nelson.
