Yes you can use that method. I used the files/instructions in that thread to install Ubuntu before, but I didn't think it was very good in vnc so deleted it.

The first step comes from googling the topic: how to make custom rom.
have you tried this yet?
there are several hits from google, including youtube vids.
You can also read the older threads in the dev section.
You can also hang out in chat rooms and irc...you're more likely to get more help there.

I have looked at Google and you tube but all I found was for Linux or Mac OS and I haven't seen any older posts that helped

have you broken down a rom yet?
Working on it now actually

You have to build in Linux since android is a Unix based system. You can tear apart a stock, or leaked rom in windows and mod it, and/or theme it. But, to straight build a rom, HAS to be done in Linux, ie(Linux mint, Ubuntu) .

Help a Linux noob?

So ever since I lost root on Christmas day, literally got the update that broke razorclaw root about an hour after I rooted , I've been reading and searching and trying and reading some more.
Finally I'm admitting defeat. I am just unable to accomplish rooting my tf101 using vipermod on my Ubuntu machine. I'm not great at Linux and so afraid of messing up my tf.
So my question is this, is there anyone really patient and know Linux very well that can walk me through rooting using vipermod on Ubuntu?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Just to add ... I'm not real dumb. With suggestions and a little help I can find my way around.
I just printed out how to get advanced working on Ubuntu so I'll try to follow this tutorial tonight and hope I have better luck
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Well now adb can see the transformer!
Does vipermod still work after the latest update fix?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Yes: Option 1 if on ICS Option 3 if on HC
Let me know if it works so I can stop searching for an alternative for your MAC.

Mine says something about trying to mount then says no directory but now in the latest update it gets stuck on first line of code

Hi.
I did, Intel VT is enabled, but I still get the kernel panic error... any guesses ?
Hi,
Unfortunately I don't know why it's working perfectly for some people and not working for other one.
I imagine could be a VirtualBox issue.
You can try either doing similar procedure using WMware or ask for support here:

Up!
Orientation...portrait?
I have successfully installed 4.3 on VirtualBox again using Ubuntu host. Is there a way to change the orientation to portrait permanantly so that the VM looks and operates like a phone? Short of finding a way to set my expensive monitor on it's side I can't really find a way.
