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.

On my C3100 I installed "Angstrom-x11-image-glibc-ipk-2007.12-r13-spitz-installkit.tgz"

One thing that worked, and really surprised me was my Wifi card just connected when inserted. (Ambicom WL1100C-CF) smile.gif
I opened up my router to "no security" (is normally WPA) and just did the upgrade and updates.
I tried commandline installing, but I couldn't seem to download the files that way. I'm more of a GUI type person.

Do I need to install BASH to get some of the missing console commands?
cardctl command is missing, and some other commands are missing that I don't remember right now.

USB networking didn't work for me either. I once had USB networking connected in Cacko, but I have since installed SP3 to windows and ndis driver only installs if I have my other Zaurus (with pdaxii13) connected. (When connected with my Angstrom Zaurus, the ndis driver in device manager is not available).

I do have another PC with Puppy Linux, and would like to try to connect thru USB on that machine, but the Linux USB instructions on this forum are archaic and go over my head.

EDIT:
Will Gparted from Debian arm work in Angstrom? http://packages.debian.org/sid/qtparted
It has a ton of dependencies. I need to "fix" my HDD, it is only using 1.2 GB. I lost the other 2.8 GM when I partitioned it as per instructions.
