Installing the base system on the SD card from a Tablet

Thu Jan 31, 2013 3:02 pm

Hi Guys,

I'm thinking about buying a rPi, however, looking in to it, I need to copy the base system into the SD card.

The only other device I have at home with an SD port is my tablet, which coincidently runs android.

Does anyone know how I would go about installing the base system on the card via the Tablet?

Thank you in advance for your help,

J

Root the tablet
Then get busybox installed
then you'll be able to use dd on the tablet to do what you need.
