Installing Oz On A Collie, OZ will not flash Options

[chrisl]

I have had my Collie for just under a week. In order to maintain the possibility to sync my Z with my mac and the ability to mount it as a USB mass storage, I decided to go with a Sharp variant of ROM (Cacko). Since then I have learned there are other options to achieve the same aim. Recently, I have tried to install/flash OZ 3.5.3 (the cfs ROM from Hentges). I load the three files (the initrd.bin, the z-file and the cfs file) onto my CF file as the instructions dictate. The result is always the same: a penguin splash screen that says Cacko.net and a red blinking cursor in the corner. I have found a few posts on this forum that noted the same problem, but for apparently different reasons. My questions are:

1. Is there something extra that needs to be done to flask OZ on my Z?

2. Is it worth my while? Currently, my current setup is slow, but suitable. I would really like to use gpe, but is OZ/GPE stable enough and have drive support (for wifi) to be useful for daily use?
