I don't think so. Seeing as you're putting debian, not lubuntu, on the flash drive
What I meant was because the guide asks me to copy the sources.list from the Linux installation on the computer (lubuntu) to the installation on the USB (debian), I thought there might be some conflicts between source domains.

OS version shouldn't matter, so long as it runs Ndless.
Ok, good; 3.9.1 was giving me a headache. So far, debootstrapping surprisingly seems to be working! Hopefully one last question: since I'm running Lububtu, will the sources.list need to be changed?

Hehe, sorry about that.
I hope you have better luck the 2nd time around 
I believe it is actually the fifth.  By the way, would having my calculator on 3.9.1 make a difference? Because I just downgraded to check if it makes it any faster than 4.0.3, and since I haven't seen any speed increase so far, and installing during school time has become fairly hard (no, I am not going to take out a computer in the middle of class), I am thinking that downgrading probably wasn't the best idea. Thanks!

I just remembered that there is an issue in my tutorial. For some reason WordPress converts double dashes (--) into single long dashes (–), which messes up some of the commands. Wherever you see a long dash, replace it with two normal dashes.
You know, that would have been a bit useful to know earlier. Thanks for telling me, I'll try the tutorial again later.

I got the download to work and i played the game. When I play Curly has a forcefield. I played Cave Story before and I don't remember that being a part of the battle. I would include a screenshot but I don't know how to add images to this thing yet.. Does this happen to anyone else?
It happens to me, too. I believe the port does not progress past this point.  EDIT: It has, in fact, seemed to have been fixed. One would need to completely recompile the program from the source, however. EDIT2: Replace cave.tns on your calculator with this newer version. Curly should work. I take no credit for this fix!

Hands down would recommend a Pi 3, as they are the fastest, and still the same price as the older ones.
Thanks. Time to save money for another small computing device! Because one can never have enough. EDIT: Alright, I tried once more to set up linux on another USB drive using an Ubuntu installation, but it did not work. I suppose I should wait until I own a Raspberry Pi.

Probably not, that feature is still very much in beta, with many bugs. I highly doubt qemu would work with it. If you have a raspberry pi though, that would work best, as you can skip the qemu and binfmt steps.
Oh my... Unfortunately, I do not own a Raspberry Pi. Would this guide work with Ubuntu? I am asking as Ubuntu seems to support my WiFi cards. Or does debootstrap rely on Debian?
Also, I think I'll look into getting a Raspberry Pi, as it certainly would make doing this whole thing easier, if I were to do it again (I have a tendency to accidentally format USB drives without checking what's on them).
Yep, Ubuntu should work just fine, but you'll need the emu and binfmt steps, since your computer has a different processor than the Nspire. Also, I would highly recommend getting a Raspberry Pi, they're fun to mess around with. For instance, I just made this the other day: https://twitter.com/NoahRosamilia/status/723688146320392192
Would've been nice to know that Ubuntu worked all the while ago  . I will definitely look into buying a Raspberry Pi. Which one do you recommend?

The issue is cropping up before he even get's to the Nspire step, that's not it (yet).
Ah okay, nevermind then.
I'd recommend using a non-virtual linux box to work with, if you can figure out a way to do that, or maybe a linux with a flash drive root (you can do that with debootstrap too!). Virtualbox usually works, but I've seen weirdnesses with USB forwarding which might be causing problems.
I hear that the Insider builds of Windows 10 has a full Linux userland? Do you think that would work?

@Ivoah Alright, so, how about this: instead of debootstrapping directly to the USB, I debootstrap to an image file, the dd the image file to the USB. Or am I still missing something?
Sounds like your flashdrive is borked, try reformatting it as ext4.
Oh my. Well, if that's the case, I suppose it's a good thing I have several other USB drives, then! I'll report back as soon as I can.

Are you sure you installed qemu-user-static and binfmt-support?
Yep. In fact, I even tried debootstrapping without them, but it just said the command wasn't found.

Looks like you need to re-debootstrap. I also updated the guide, so maybe try starting from the beginning.
Alright, I'll try again, but this time, I'll cross my fingers the whole time (massive luck booster). EDIT: Okay, I did everything again (even reinstalling Debian), but I still get stuck on step 6. So much for crossing my fingers

Weird, copying the sources.list should've worked. Anyways, I forgot to fix sources.list when I re-did my blog, try this: http://codinghobbit.no-ip.org/uploads/sources.list
I finally got around to retrying it, and, too my surprise,I encountered an error that would not allow me to continue. When debootstraping on step 6 of your guide, it finished in seconds. I do not believe this was the desired waiting time. I looked at the logs, and it had multiple errors saying "Permission Denied", even though I was using sudo. I used su and tried to debootstrap again, to no avail. I looked in the /mnt folder (the USB drive), and the only file there was "lost+found", which I couldn't open anyway. I am using Debian 8.3.0 with KDE, if that's part of the problem. EDIT: Also, I'm using virtualbox with Guest Additions installed. That's probably an important factor in diagnosing the problem.

bump. Did you get it working @kitten?
Sorry for the delay, I meant to post images of the screen I get when booting Linux, but never got around to it. As previously stated, it didn't think "boot" was a command. When setting up the USB drive, it couldn't get sources.list, so I copied mine from my Debian Jessie installation and replaced "Jessie" with "Wheezy". I think this is part of the problem. I'll try setting it up again. EDIT: Apparently, sources.list was not found here: http://codinghobbit.no-ip.org/uploads/TI-Nspire/linux/sources.listIt's not on http://archive.org/web/ either. EDIT2: I tried setting up nDroid and it seemed to boot the kernel. I never thought I'd see the day when my calculator had a kernel panic... Anyway, it does seem that linuxloader2 could communicate with the USB, but it could not execute the boot command.
