You can't. Reasons:
lack of 1. processor, 2. RAM, 3. ROM 4.everything. Just you can't and don't try it.

hi,

I was wondering whether Digit has done a Fast Track to Networking? It would be really good if Digit does it.

Because Networking - routers, wifi, modems, modems + routers, NAS, print servers, USB Tethering, Wifi Tethering et cetera are confusing for an average guy. One needs a basic idea, only then one can figure his way out.

Few guys have cable broadband, few have ADSL broadband....so instructions are different and it can get really confusing for an average guy. Each one has a different requirement, a different setup...so it really gets difficult to give to the point advice.

Here are a few threads people have tried to answer over the period of time.

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/networking/134773-learning-about-networking.html

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/networking/138520-need-guidance-nas-setup.html

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/networking/148144-create-vpn-server-windows.html

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/networking/149873-sharing-same-internet-connection-2-pcs.html

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/networking/150870-sharing-pppoe-connection.html (today's thread)

A Fast Track to each and every thing related to networks and networking would be really good. We need a broad guide on this issue.

PS: I know it is late for February's Fast Track. But you could do something about this later issues. :)

Nope. Not possible. There is no way you can flash Android ROMs on them.

7. Tablets

Please give an article on installing some major linux distributions safely on a partion that is already made by any free windows partion program and switching from the grub bootloader of linux to the windows bootloader, showing all the operating systems installed and also a safe way to uninstall the linux distribution if the bootloader is set to grub. I have read on internet that we need to repair the mbr by using the windows xp cd and then go to repair option but the windows xp cd that I have doesn't any such option and it goes straight to the installation menu. I have checked many times but it is not there even in the lines shown when the disc is loading. Is it the problem with everyone or with me as this cd doesn't work on other computers as well?
Can any one give me a link to download a working xp cd that gives repair option?
Ubuntu and Linux Mintcan be easily installed using wubi and mint4win installers. So the tutorial should be for Opensuse, Fedora etc.
Thanks!

With the world getting crazy on for Androids, it would be really nice if digit can bring out two fast tracks, with the 2nd one as "Detailed Guide to Rooting and Installing Custom Rom".
Just my 0.2 new paisa.

Please provide "detection updates/signatures" for popular antiviruses like Avast, ClamWin Portable, Avira and Spybot search and destroy regularly for dial-up users.

+some boot discs like UBCD, hirens boot cd, kasperky rescue disc etc

Second, many pages in the PDFs (10 year archive) are missing, Why? I am not talking about those Ad pages even most of informative pages are missing like the whole Graphics cards section in July 2010! will you ever provide full pdfs without cutting info and Ad pages, please, If so let me know so I could buy that issue. I really got disappointed.
