Here’s another short video of my Wii running Linux. It plays an audiostream from sky.fm (in XMMS), and a movie trailer (using VLC). Download and installation instructions here: www.tehskeen.com

is there a way to install it without a keyboard? i already have a typing app in mind, but installing seems to be an issue :/
I’m posting this from in xwhiite now. Is there a way to install flash player 10 and be able to stream off of youtube?
I can’t get the GUI to work but it looks cool.
awsome
what? i wanted to see if it’d work.
can u play dvds in vlc on there?
play frets on fire.
i have no idea wat to do with e files and when i extract it some some of the files r not there
Is the mouse controlled via Wiimote?
Yes!!! I’ve been waiting for VLC to come to the Wii.
oh ok well how would you put programs on it.
See the url in the video description for download and installation instructions.
Very cool!
I thought that was the case, but wasn’t too sure, it said something like Valkyrie in the video name etc, but wasn’t too sure
I see, is it possible to use USB external memory to install Wii-Linux?
I’ll definitely be looking forward to this, looks fantastic.
Well i have not heard of Mugen. But if the game works on debian linux like ubuntu, it should work on this wii-linux, since almost the same. But this is only a theory, sadly i dont have a wii to tried this out yet.
Valkyrie is the name of the film.
It is written in the video also :O
All methods of installation normally instruct you to install on a external flash memory. Nothing on the Internal 512 mb ram is used for the installation. Just buy a 2gb or 4gb SD card for Wii-Linux, it is worth it.
I am currently developing a site on instruction of how the most layman can install linux on wii and ps3. When done ill post a video + link on youtube. Look forward to it in a couple of weeks.
Hope this helps.
Just one question, I’m not linux savy on the Wii, even though I use Linux on PC, but if I wanted Linux on Wii, is it temporary, such as, boot of SD or external memory, or does it install into the Wii’s flash memory, and does that overwrite the Wii’s memory?
Same lmao. I wanna know what the film is, lookd good
with wii linux is it possible to play games like mugen on it?
bastard! I wanted to watch the rest of the trailer!!!!
how about using samba to stream video? too laggy?
Since it’s Linux (Debian actually), installing a VNC client and / or server won’t be any problem.
I haven’t tried that yet, but remote desktop sessions to windows work fine.
will it have vnc?
