Hi all, first post (well, practically).
I found a 3200 at a flea market recently and was going to sell, but my penchant for gadgetry has, I think, overcome my desire for extra holiday funds. So, it's likely going to stay here with me for at least a while... Or I decide it doesn't serve much useful purpose (and I've decided that of lots of PDA's and similar items, including a Fujitsu U810 a couple of months ago - a fun gadget but too small for XP and the keyboard was neither thumb- nor touch-type friendly). Anyway, I was wondering what the deal was with distros. I initially put pdaXii113 Akita Full on it but found the lag for opening apps and general speed to be really intolerable. I repartitioned/restored the HD for Cacko 1.23 and that's what I am running now. It's clean and fairly quick, but I wonder if I'm missing much flexibility. What about just plain old pdaXrom? Spitz vs. Akita? Yep, I've done some googling and some searching of these forums but haven't yet uncovered a thread that answered these questions (especially not one that was fairly recent). Also, I'm gleaning that there's no simple method of getting Firefox/Mozilla on Cacko - so is there a Java and Flash ipk or other procedure to get streaming video and other flash or web based stuff running on it? Bear in mind, before this thing my Linux experience was limited to one simple install of Ubuntu on a desktop for work - and that's it. Many thanks...

It works!
I use WPA PSK on my wireless router and I am using an Ambicom WL1100C-CF Wifi card. Just copy the attached wpa_supplicant.conf to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf on your Cacko Zaurus. I extracted this "wpa_supplicant.conf" from the pdaxii13 full spitz archive. (this conf file is virgin and has never been used) Then follow the instructions given on the web page as mentioned above. Then fire up opera or netfront and when the connect dialog comes up, your new connection should be there, and just connect. I had to zip it to attach it to the forum.
