Hello
I want to install Andromeda standalone in a Zaurus SL-3100 with a 4GB hard drive. How should I make the partitions of the disk to install it? thanks |

If you want to change this to deal with the errors, have a look in /etc/rc.local or whatever it is. For reasons that I have no understanding of whatsoever, this is the file that activates the swap (rather than fstab). |

Make sure the partition is formatted to ext3, or it will not be found during install.
Just switched to Andromeda myself, seems faster than basic Debian install I did. |

if it is not a daft question, how do you format the 3100 internal hard disk as ext3? Within cacko and also within the D+B emergency linux there is no mke3fs command.

ext3 is journaled ext2. Hence:
mke2fs -j /dev/hdXn (name of your partition) |

I've localised it to english and it seems to work pretty well. Performance is generally OK but a bit slow on some things which is understandable. Very pleased to report that CPAN Perl modules can be compiled on board the Z which means I can run things like SQLiX - only ever managed to get that running under BSD on my Z, never under Linux before! Looks like there has been a debian party going on here and I'm late to arrive. |

So I got this installed and I am very pleased with it. Congratulations Younggun, very nice work.
I have run into a few snags and wanted to see if anyone had a solution 1. Hawking CF Network card (dmesg - NE2000 (DL10022 rev 05) io 0xc4840300, irq 169, hw_addr ...) isn't working. I have it plugged and and all I am seeing is the RX light flash repeatedly. Not sure what is going on. I have assigned and address but it won't transmit. Never seen this before... EDIT: Bad network cable, took the 4 one I guess... 2. Socket Bluetooth doesn't work but I don't have network connectivity at the moment (above) to install the bluez packages. EDIT: So I got sshd installed but it keeps asking me to change my password on login. How does one stop this behavior? Any assistance would be appreciated. |
