Galaxy Tab with Arch

[nadie]

Hello,

Just a few questions:

I have a Galaxy Tab (GT-P1000) with Gingerbread and I want to know if it's possible (AND functional) to use Arch on it.

In the other hand, it is a rooted device, is it "easy" to install or quite tricky?

And what about a dual boot?

And how are the performances? (Graphic acceleration, playing movies, connect the tab on a 23" screen by HDMI, ...)

I use to install different distribs, including Arch (the one I prefer), on x86 based computer and x86_64 and dual-boots on these.

Regards

Technical details of the tab:
The GT-P1000 model carries a 7" Super TFT instead of the AMOLED which is used by Samsung in its Galaxy S phones.[9] The screen has a 1024×600 resolution With mDNIE (Mobile Digital Natural Images Engine). Internal flash storage of 2 GB (North America CDMA models), 16 GB or 32 GB can be supplemented with a microSD flash card with up to 32 GB. CPU is a Exynos 3110 Applications Processor (Also known as Hummingbird) features 1.0 GHz ARM architecture Cortex A8 application and has 512 MB of RAM paired with a PowerVR SGX540 graphics processor.

Your best bet for retaining usability, at this point, is a chroot. You might be able to use the armv7h rootfs & repo, but thats a large might.

So, it's like installing by chrooting in the system? I install my own arch in that way but I'm not sure to understand something:

* It needs a boot loader to make the system able to boot on the original system or another one, is grub available for this?

* Partioning the internal disk storage is possible? I will need to resize the partion first and it's not possible to do (or hard) on a running system, isn't it?

Well maybe I'd better see the howto for this kind of installation.
