Run Deb Files on Your Android Device

A guy from the androidfanatic forum hasw created a custom Debian Shell for Android. It’s only a few simple steps, a small firmware flash and voila! You should now be able to run deb files on your rooted G1. Below are the steps and downloads needed to complete this hack.

* You need to download a modded firmware update if you are using G1.(http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UHZ9CW01)
* save the update.zip file on the SDcard
* Boot into recovery mode (home+power) then press alt+s to apply changes
* Download the installer for Debian Shell here.
* unzip the file and copy the folder debian to SDcard’s root.
* Go to /sdcard/debian through the terminal
* Type su
* Type chmod 4755 *
* run the installer by typing installer.sh
* Type bootdeb to mount and boot the debian system.
