Hi
Im pretty new to the zaurus thing and i was wondering if anybody could help me out with trying to get zubuntu onto my zaurus, ive had ago at omegamoons way and i just cant seem to extract the files onto a sd/cf card, i dont mind if i mess up my zaurus a few times cos i find it all a learning curve. Can anybody help me or do they have a video u can follow. Thanks for any help i get. Regards whykick |

After hours of trying different cards and card readers i got the card to work on ubuntu, but when i tried to put the files across it gave me the error message (permission denied). Not sur why because i ran it with sudo cmd. So i gave up on that a took it upon myself to take apart the zaurus and take out the microdrive. I formatted it in fat32 and installed the backtrack cd onto it, All went well and did a complete install onto my microdrive but when i put it all back together it still boots up my cacko. Is there some kind of boot loader to boot up backtrack from my microdrive.
Regards Whykick |

Regards Whykick 1) the sd card where you'll put zubuntu must be ext2 or ext3 format, not fat32 2) you need to put the kexec boot loader as specified in http://www.omegamoon.com/blog/static.php?page=ZaurusUbuntu see the "Installation of the multiboot kernel on the Zaurus is done in the usual way" section. well you should read all the document carefully as it's is newbie friendly, you'll save time at the end. 3) i don't understand, are you trying to run backtrack live cd on the zaurus? i would say it's not possible |
