The operating system Whiite is a custom distribution for the Nintendo Wii, created by the gc-linux team and built on top of Debian Lenny 5.0.
To run Linux on the Wii, it is necessary to install 'The Homebrew Channel' (HBC). Installing HBC can void the warranty. The Wii has an Arm 9 Core running at 243 MHz with a Starlet coprocessor, and Nintendo's Operating System is called 'Input Output Systems' or 'Internal Operating Systems' (IOS). To install HBC, the Wii requires a 2GB or smaller SD card, a USB keyboard, and an internet connection.
The user must check the System Menu Version, MAC Address, and Internet connection before starting the installation. The user must visit the website 'please.hackmii.com' and download the Homebrew Channel files, extract them to the SD card, and install the channel through the LetterBomb option in the Wii messages.
After installation, the user must download the Whiite software, prepare the SD card, and partition it. This article provides the links to download the Whiite software and the steps to partition the SD card.
