I uploaded some Sam Linux kernels and distributions last years.

Running Linux on AmigaONEs can require some tinkering.

Hi there.

So a friend is interested in installing Linux again on his Sam flex. He downloaded a recent Debian CD image. But it would need to be "hacked" to work on the Sam. There was also an issue with ub2lb menu needing old FFS but I read SFS is supported so that shouldn't cause issue now.

I most of the latest are net installs. Would this cause an issue now with missing sources?

I wonder how hard it would be to patch an ISO with Sam files? I also don't know how well Debian Bookworm would perform on the Sam. :)
