installing in an android chroot

Postby olive » Sat Oct 27, 2012 5:10 pm

I would like to know if it is possible to install in an android chroot. I am competent with the command line (and I can ssh to my android device, have root acces and busybox) and I know how to install a normal archlinux chroot. My question is that I would like to know if a tarball that support the android kernel is available. The only info I have found is that: http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM ... est.tar.gz but that is for a particular tablet. My tablet is an unbranded cheap Chinese one. The information I could gather is the following:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

Your tablet is an A13, sun5i. It is a relative of the Mele.
