Debian with Xqt, Running Debian(complete) & Qtopia Options

[smuelas]

I am running at the moment in my Z6000 with the standard ROM from Sharp and using packages from Xqt, the whole distribution from Debian under the X's of xqt.

Everything is very simple and anyone with a big card or microdrive (no smaller than 500Kb) and able to run Xqt can do it.

I will send some screen shots of different X-applications like Firefox, Konqueror, Kile, Kmail...etc.

Everything is based on Klaus's 'pocketworkstation', but using Xqt instead of Xvnc.

Just small drawbacks as some keys that don't work (three at the moment).

Qtopia running at the same time, everything from the standar software and other packages installed, continue to work nicely, so one can choose the best of both possibilities.

The only price to pay is around 4 Mb. of RAM but I find it extremely cheap for having this wonderful capability.

I have tested it for three days with no problems at all. I am NOT an expert and have modified just a couple of lines of standard scripts.

Smuelas,
Thanks for all the info, it has emboldened (is that a real word?) me to play around a bit. I have almost gotten it working, but I am still having a problem. My config is a little different, I am running the stock Sharp Kernel that shipped with my 6000.

I have a 128M CF card which holds a 64M swapfile. Instead of putting debroot on a CF or SD card I have a 40G USB drive that I formatted ext2 and mount from the VGA terminal.

I can chroot to it with no troubles, and I can start icewm, but when I click on the icewm logo button (where the start button would be if this were windows) I don't get a menu, the screen just goes all grey, and then back to the xwindow background with the icewm terminal. Is this supposed to work?

I haven't tried any apps yet, so if there is something I should run from a console to test, let me know. Thanks.
