Hacking [Whiite Linux Installer] Is there a way to use it without usb keyboard

[beanfarmer]

xdsl for the xbox didnt require a hdd it used an on screen virtual keyboard and the mouse pointer was controlled but the analog stick... so there are distros out there that can be used without a hardware keyboard.

peace out!

I would think these days everyone has a usb keyboard. Hell you can get them at the dollar stores around here for 2-3 bucks. as for usb/ps2 convertors call acomputer shop the local one for me sells em for a buck fifty. All currency american.

Interesting...but it'll be compatible with Wii Hardware ?
Other question, i tried install linux with whiite installer without keyboard..But it tell me
" FS : Cannot open root device 'rvlsda2' or unknown-block(62.2)
Please append a corrent 'root=' boot option : here are the available partitions :
e00 124160 rvlsda(driver?)
3e00 120456 rvlsda2
Kernel panic - not syncing - VFS : unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(62.2)...
Rebooting in 180seconds"
I use a usb-stick with the three files in root, and sd card with the dol.
Any help please ?

Well, you need the kernel + distribution + config file for the installer to work.
You can't use the SD card for those, since it'll be formatted by the installer, so you'll need a USB stick / external HD with those files.

Does that solve your problem?
