The jdk 1.4 javadoc is about ~150M and compressed about ~12M. Is it possible to mount the documentation as compressed?
I've got a 256M SD card as ext2.

Stuff the uncompressed files into a cramfs image. You should get similar compression and then you can mount the cramfs image on your zaurus without needing any extra untilities.

There should be plenty of help on the web about creating cramfs images.

nice one!

on my desktop:

CODE

mkcramfs docs j2sdk-1.4.2-doc.cramfs

scp j2sdk-1.4.2-doc.cramfs zaurus@<ip>

on the zaurus:

CODE

mkdir /mnt/card/Documents/j2sdk-1.4.2-doc

mount -t cramfs /mnt/card/j2sdk-1.4.2-doc.cramfs /mnt/card/Documents/j2sdk-1.4.2-doc -r -o loop

I've added the mount/unmount command to /etc/sdcontrol file, is it a better place to put it?

That's probably the best place to automate it.
