I've been trying to install rdesktop on my C3200 running "Alice" 5.4.6 through the package manager, and have ben getting the following errors:

CODE

Done.

Any ideas? A known good package?

If you downloaded the file using a web browser it is possible that the browser automatically unzipped the ipk (which is just a tar.gz file).

Download and install were both done through the package manager using the feeds already configured. I tried rdekstop 1.5 and 1.3.1(?) and neither worked.

Hi,

1.5.0 appears to be broken in the tyranozaurus feeds.

Try 1.3.1 from http://zaurus.spy.org/feeds/cacko/pdaXrom/1.1.0/beta3/feed

The feed should be available in your /etc/ipkg.conf file

Just remember to comment out the tyranozaurus feeds first, and run

CODE

ipkg update

first

Works OK for me.

HTH,

Alistair

I downloaded rdesktop 1.3.1 from the above feed using Firefox (on the Z), and was able to install without any problems. I was also able to successfully use my DD-WRT router for SSH tunneling.

While running install-fixbeta3.sh on my c750 w/beta1 and 15.1Mb free on /, I'm getting "out of space on device" error about half way through the install(/mnt/cf/custom> install-fixbeta3.sh / upgrade). Partition has been resized to 57 during install of beta1.
Any suggestions on how to complete the installation?

Thnx, Gorth
