Introduction
It seems that nearly all Pandora guides are for XP users, so I'll make this mini-guide for reference on how to use it with a Linux, you still need to follow the Pandora guide of your choice, just replace the 'mspformat' and 'msinst' steps with these. My apologies that this guide doesn't really has a good formatting, I didn't really have a idea how to format a guide that constantly contains code people need to execute. Anyways, good luck! Feedback would be nice
Creating Pandora on Linux
Introduction
First of all, open up the terminal window and connect your memory stick to your PC in the way you prefer. Once it succesfully connected, execute the following command in the terminal:
dmesg
Now a pretty big list should show up, and at the bottom something like this should be there:
[ 9299.909133] sd 9:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdf [ 9299.909182] sd 9:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg5 type 0
Notice the 'sdf' that I made bold, this might be different then at you, so remember what is says for you, and in every step that I use 'sdf', replace it with what your one says, to easy up things, I'll make it bold for the rest of this guide.
Now type this in the terminal:
sudo umount /dev/sdf1
It will ask for your root password, enter it.
Now follow one of the steps below, at the point the guide you are following tells you to.
Replacement for mspformat
First of all, enter this in the terminal:
fdisk /dev/sdf
Now the text 'Command (m for help):' should pop up, our goal is to do exactly the same as mspformat would do, so now do exactly this with fdisk:
d u n p 1 489 <enter> t c a 1 w
Now let's reformat the memory stick so it is useable:
mkfs.vfat /dev/sdf1
Now disable USB connection and enable it again, then contiune following the guide.
Replacement for msinst
Let's keep this simple, do the exact same thing as the guide states, but instead of 'msinst' do this:
dd if=msipl.bin of=/dev/sdf bs=512 seek=16
sync
You can use the exact same way to install for example Booster's MultiLoader
edit your sig to conform to forum rules ASAP. Five lines of text max, for text only. If you want to keep your userbar you can keep three lines of text.
