Upgrade Kernel Offline To 2.6 In Oz Rc3.5.4

Hi,

I installed the release candidate for 3.5.4 including a 2.4.20 kernel. For networking I understood I would have to have a 2.6 kernel.

Can anyone please tell me how to upgrade the kernel via ipkg and SD-card? Desktop with 2.6.14 (up and running) wants to connect but right now I don't get any meaningful messages when plugging in. Just that a device connected with ID but no name strings and so on...
On Z side I found out that except from loopback no networking is up. But all the interface services I tried failed when starting manually.

Please help

Trying To Install Oz 3.5.3 On Akita

Hi,
I'm proud owner of a C1000. Normally it is flashed with SharpROM 1.01JP and it's working. I tried to flash OZ one week ago, achieved in booting, but I had no chance to enter characters except from non capital letters. I furthermore tried to get USB working with my windows PC but also didn't succed :-(
The GUI of the "default" OZ (OPIE) is really much nicer than the SHARP one - looks MUCH MORE like a linux -, but unfortunately I don't have the time to test all stuff until it works and as I'm reading some of you succeeded in installing/using OZ there might be some docu somwhere.... Is there any documentation about what to patch
-to get the whole keyboard working (starting from the default image in the download section)
-to get connected with a PC (preferably Windows)
-to install ko/pi and ka/pi for using the Data stored in /home when using the sharpROM?

I would really appreciate help as I don't find enough documentation for my problems and I'm still a bit timid when trying some stuff.

P.S.: I would really PREFER OZ as it is MUCH nicer than SharpROM...
