How To Install Angstrom After Cacko Options

[geeko]

I tried to install angstrom following this guide:
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/c1000...ll-instructions
But it failed, and i was afraid i had broken my zaurus.

Luckily i was able to install cacko again.
Is there any guide to installing Angstrom on top of cacko? I just want all the old stuff deleted.

I think the thing that gets people is setting up networking - with cacko, wireless is a matter of using the GUI, and then if needed hacking in WPA=y and fixing up a wpa_supplicant.conf. I've yet to find a trivial way of doing it in angstrom!

The same way you do it under every other Linux:

CODE

(edit wpa_supplicant.conf)
iwconfig ....
wpa_supplicant ....
dhclient ....

I guess many people don't find that trivial, but put it in a script and you only need to do it once. Heck, the wpa_supplicant.conf is the HARD part.

er, no, it's much easier in SuSE! here's my ifcfg-wlan0, for example (I hasted to add this is all done for me using point and click control in YaST):

CODE

BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
BROADCAST=''
ETHTOOL_OPTIONS=''
IFPLUGD_PRIORITY='10'
IPADDR=''
MTU=''
NAME='wifi device'
NETMASK=''
NETWORK=''
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='manual'
USERCONTROL='yes'
WIRELESS_AP=''
WIRELESS_AUTH_MODE='psk'
WIRELESS_BITRATE='auto'
WIRELESS_CA_CERT=''
WIRELESS_CHANNEL='3'
WIRELESS_CLIENT_CERT=''
WIRELESS_CLIENT_KEY=''
WIRELESS_CLIENT_KEY_PASSWORD=''
WIRELESS_DEFAULT_KEY='0'
WIRELESS_EAP_AUTH=''
WIRELESS_EAP_MODE=''
WIRELESS_ESSID='top secret wifi AP'
WIRELESS_FREQUENCY=''
WIRELESS_KEY=''
WIRELESS_KEY_0=''
WIRELESS_KEY_1=''
WIRELESS_KEY_2=''
WIRELESS_KEY_3=''
WIRELESS_KEY_LENGTH=''
WIRELESS_MODE='Managed'
WIRELESS_NICK=''
WIRELESS_NWID=''
WIRELESS_PEAP_VERSION=''
WIRELESS_POWER='yes'
WIRELESS_WPA_ANONID=''
WIRELESS_WPA_IDENTITY=''
WIRELESS_WPA_PASSWORD=''
WIRELESS_WPA_PSK='top secret wifi pass phrase'

Note: my immediate colleague at work runs ubuntu, so we are always comparing distro features and jump up and down whenever we see a weakness in the other's.

I think there's ways of putting in the WPA pass phrases into the interfaces file, but I'm no expert
