Please choose one of the following 2 methods!

USB Control Script (1st method):

DEBIAN_CONTROL - see bottom of post for script

MicroSD Control Script (2nd method):

DEBIAN_CONTROL_SD - see bottom of post for script

You will need this image unless you plan to put your own together.

Debian Squeeze Image:

http://www.multiupload.com/C9RDP4ODZX

The image can be flashed to your usb drive or sd/microsd card with dd on your fullsize computer. Please be aware that I have not tested running from a fullsize SD card.

dd if=~/nameofimage.img of=/dev/nameofdevice

Operation

1.Run the control script to start the chroot. You can run console commands here. The screen command is useful here also.

2.Run ./vnc to start the vnc server which itself starts xorg and the window manager. The script is not totally failure proof.

3.Login with your vnc client. I use Android vnc viewer. Password is testing.

Window Managers

lxde

icewm

xfce

check /.vnc/ for the xstartup scripts. just rename the one for the window manager you want to xstartup and reboot your chroot.

BUG:

chroot will not cleanly unmount

SOLUTION:

keep chroot running in the background - it should only take up memory not cpu

Stock ROM Repository

Images contain stock system, stock boot, and CWM recovery.

vm670 recovery image is for the new screen version so it should work for all vm670.
