Qt Moko is Debian distribution for Openmoko Freerunner phone. Phone and user interface is based on QT Extended Improved formerly known as Qtopia.
Download new qtmoko version 14
2009-09-09 v9 release. Fixed no sound in incoming calls, fixed wifi, new package repo, fixes in QtMaze, better fonts, gprs sharing script.
Download dfu-util and copy to /usr/bin (if you are windows user then you need to download dfu-util.exe and copy to x:/windows). Now download kernel and rootFS . Plug your FreeRunner into a USB port and boot it into the nand boot loader, hold down the aux button and then the power button until nor appears. The FreeRunner will only stay in in the nand boot-loader state installer for about 30 seconds with no activity. You have 30 sec to start flashing kernel or rootFS .
flash kernel
dfu-util -a kernel -R -D uImage-v9.bin
and then rootFS
dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D qtmoko-debian-v9.jffs2
After finishing the installation you have to start the freerunner and calibrate the touch screen.

Debian is “the universal operating system”. It comes with thousands and thousands of packages (most of them designed for desktops or servers so far). So in the words of Joachim “nomeata” Breitner from the pkg-fso team, this is not really a distribution in the Openmoko sense of the word, but rather a different underlying system for Openmoko distributions. At the moment, we ship the software from the FSO stack, but hopefully we’ll also have, for example, the SHR software in our archive. So for now, Debian is a different way of installing FSO, which takes more space and provides more programs :-)
neovento (ex FYP) is a Debian on Freerunner based distribution which uses LXDE and Zhone on top. It is a FreeYourPhone.de community project.
Hackable1 is a community distribution for hackable devices like the Neo Freerunner. It is based on Debian and implements the GNOME mobile platform.
