ipkg confusion

Hi. I'm confused about what format the ipkgs are in.


I'm using http://www.linuxtr.net/oe/feed/tosa/ for my sl6000 with the sharp rom.

I tried ar -x <name>.ipkg and tar zxvf <name>.ipkg. Both report bad formatting. I tried it on my zaurus and under cygwin. I also tried this with different packages. I'm really trying to install directly from the feed, but I thought I might need to convert to the sharp format first. Any ideas about how to install these packages?

Thanks!

cvm hangs, ctrl doesn't work

Has anyone had this problem? 'kill -9 $pid' has no effect on the cvm processes. Of course, other SIGs like INT and STOP have no effect as well. I have to reset the zaurus to kill the process. Any suggestions for dealing with it? It's very annoying, especially when debugging a java program.

I'm using the sharp rom.

Also, does anyone know how to use the ctrl key on the gui keyboard to work? I press ctrl and it highlights. Then I press $letter, but it just seems to send $letter, not Ctrl-$letter. (I haven't really written a script to test this, but it seems to be the case. )

Thanks!

kernel configuration file

Hi.

I'm trying to compile and install a module for my sl6000. I got the sharp source the cross-compiler. I was going to use menuconfig to compile the kernel, but I don't see a configuration file in arch/arm/def-configs for the sl6000. What have you guys done in this situation?

Thanks.
