Traditional Debian Distribution 2005-10-25 (Etch)
This is a traditional linux root file system from the Debian (Etch) distribution for ADS embedded computer systems. This distribution is intended to be used on our platforms for development of embedded applications. It includes compilers, debuggers, libraries, etc. Additionally, Debian provides many thousands of optional packages that can be downloaded, installed and configured with a simple command.

Initrd for Debian Root 2005-10-25 is an initial ramdisk that is needed to bootstrap the Debian root file system.
The shell script, debian_install.sh, can be run on a Linux system and will install a kernel, the root file system and the initrd (initial ramdisk) on a hard drive such as an Hitachi Microdrive (TM) or an external USB drive. The script reformats the hard drive and creates three partitions:
- kernel and initial ramdisk
- swap space
- EXT3 root file system
README-install.txt is a text file that describes the use of the debian_install shell script and provides notes regarding the root file system, initrd, etc.
README.txt contains more detailed information on the traditional Debian root filesystem as well as the ramdisk, jffs2 and cramfs distributions in this release.
The following files are included in this release:
bitsyXb/root_config_usb.txt
bitsyXb/tty_config.txt

History
This distribution is a Debian Etch distribution for ADS embedded computer systems. It supercedes our previous 2005-04-26-B Debian distribution, which was based on Debian sarge.
Besides being based on a newer version of Debian, the most notable changes in this release include the packaging of all ADS add-on software in the Debian package format. These packages, and their sources, are available from our apt repsoitory, which is preconfigured in the sources.list file of the new release.
