Eurotech provides instructions for installing and using several Linux distributions on the Catalyst, but does not provide free direct support for using the Catalyst in this way. These instructions are intended to help you install this distribution in the most appropriate way for this hardware, and to help you with common problems involved in using a this distribution on the Catalyst. If you need other support with a Linux distribution, we recommend using the distrubution's own support channels.
Debian Live allows Debian 5.0 to be easily run from USB without installation. To use Debian Live, you will need a USB memory stick of at least 1 gigabyte in size, or a USB hard drive. - Visit http://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/
- Click the "Download" link, then click "i386", and then "usb-hdd".
- Download the ".img" file for the version of Debian you prefer. If unsure, select the Gnome desktop image.
- Follow the instructions here to write the image to the USB stick: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/Howto/USB
- Attach the USB stick to the Catalyst.
- Attach a keyboard and mouse.
- Power on the Catalyst and follow the prompts to boot Debian Live.
Known issues:
Debian 5.0 does not support the Catalyst's touchscreen. In order to use the touchscreen, a third-party driver is needed. This topic describes how to obtain, install, and use the touch screen driver.
The sound chip is supported, but by default it may be muted, preventing audio playback or recording. Run "alsamixer" and increase the volume levels if necessary.
The iwl3945 wireless interface is not supported by this version of Debian.
