We are proud to announce the availability of a(n unofficial) Fedora 8 package repository for the ARM architecture.
The package repository has been built for ARMv5 EABI, soft-float, little endian. The majority of the important and frequently used Fedora packages have been built for ARM.
The Fedora/ARM architecture wiki page has more info: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM
The easiest way to start using Fedora 8/ARM is to download the prebuilt root filesystem, which can be booted in QEMU, or chroot'ed into or booted from on any ARMv5 or later processor running in little endian mode. Additional packages can be installed by using yum, which is provided in the filesystem.
A HOWTO which describes getting Fedora/ARM running in QEMU is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/HowToQemu
There currently are a handful of known issues, which are described at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/TODO
Please help us by using the Fedora/ARM port and reporting any issues you run into so that we can fix them.
I should have bought something else/bigger than my WRT54, I guess :-)
Isn't the WRT54 MIPS based with 4M of RAM or so? :)
Yes I think so. They're Broadcom chips which I'm pretty sure uses a MIPS32 core.
But on the other hand my Dlink DNS-323 is a 500Hmz Marvell ARM chip. A storage Fedora sub distro would be cool.
