Would you mind sharing your {middle|right} clicking trick? I'm interested in adapting it.

Sounds very cool nonetheless, and I will likely try it!

Thanks for all your Debian-on-the-Z work!

Hello! This looks very nice.
I'd love to try it, and be happy to host the file as well.
I have sent you a pm.

Best regards,

It is simple. If you are using xbindkeys and ZDevils' click program( http://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?s=&...st&p=175322 ), then just add the followings in .xbindkeysrc:

CODE

#mouse-click-m
"mouse-r"
m:0x1 + b:1
Shift + Shift_L

#mouse-click-m
"mouse-m"
m:0x10 + b:1
Mod2 + Mode_switch

Thanks 2or0 for your reply and rootfs!
It is now ready to be grabbed at:

1. Slow but big server: I will be able to leave the file there for a very long time.
http://badaboum.bidibom.free.fr/andromeda.zip

2. Small but fast server: grab it from here until it lasts!

Thank you. Then I will post the details about this.

Thank you yonggun I guess I'll give it a try on my C3200 when the download is finished and hope to get my Planex wifi card at least blinkin'. Can we have md5 checksum?

Edit: I tried to install it but got an error. I made the partitions using fdisk /dev/hda one for the rootfs and the other swap. When I tried to flash the kernel was flashed ok as it said but then it tried to umount and format the /dev/hdc instead of /dev/hda had some modprobe errors and the final piece of info is that it couldn't load a filesystem for rootfs. I tried to fdisk /dev/hdc but there is no such device. Any ideas?

hi linx,

if you have a cf card, just insert it while booting, then the internal drive becomes hdc. i did tht and unzipped tge rootfs and modules manually.

great distro, really! thanks 2or0 this one is what i was always looking for. only glitch i noticed was the middle buttom emulation does not work.

[linx]

I guess by CF card we mean a CF drive and not just whatever card like wifi? Hmmm any other way to tell it I'm using hda?

[matthis]

I was able to install.
The first time I wasn't watching and it rebooted to cacko,
so I just flashed the kernel again with the normal updater.sh and then it worked perfectly.

2or0: your rootfs is really beautiful! I like the "brightness" overlay!
This is really the best debian rootfs I've tried so far, very very user friendly!!
I'm making it my default rom now.

[linx]

What you mean the normal updater.sh? Not the one in the andromeda.zip

[matthis]

Yes, I meant the one provided on sharp's site, or yonggun' site , which do only kernel flashing (and not system installs).
But I don't know if I had to do that because I had done something wrong in the first place.

@2or0:

Your rootfs already has support for Korean input.
What would be the best way to add Japanese input, using the same system you are using for Korean?
Is anything that would use uim the best solution?

Thanks

Hi 2or0,
Thanks for the great job! I really love this rootfs.

However I have a question. Each time the system starts it says:

Starting Adanced Power Management daemon....
* Can't start Hadware abstraction layer - please ensure dbus is running

What is the problem?
