Install Kubuntu on Archos 10.1 internet tablet

• Install SDE firmware (see archos.com)
• Generate a kubuntu mobile img using rootstock

sudo rootstock --fqdn archos --login u --password u --keepimage --imagesize 1500M --seed kubuntu-mobile --
dist maverick

• Mount the rootfs.img of the SDE from your data partition (that is the thing you can mount when doing the USB sharing dance with Android)
• Mount your Kubuntu .img
• copy /lib/modules/* from the former to the latter
• Unmount both (best also run sudo sync)
• Move the SDE rootfs.img out of the way
• Copy your Kubuntu .img as new rootfs.img on the data partition
• sudo sync; unmount and power off the device
• Power on and hold volume down pressed until the recovery boot thing comes up
• Select developer edition using the volume button and confirm using the power button
• If all goes fine you should get to either KDM or TTY login
• To power off again you'll need to reset by keeping the power button pressed for 10 seconds

Configure

The better part of ARM/n900 also applies for the Archos 10.1.
