Note: Information concerning OpenZaurus should be first checked on http://www.openzaurus.org. The following tutorial is for reference and completeness of the OESF.org wiki documentation.
		+
		+
		+	== Introduction ==
		+
		+	This guide is a step by step install guide for OpenZaurus 3.5.4.1Alpha1 with a 2.6 kernel on a Zaurus C3100 / C3200. Although this software is marked as Alpha, it seems very stable and is far better than default Sharp ROM for several reasons:
		+	- OZ will install to hard drive. It means no more symlink hell and a very clean system
		+	- Better network and wifi support
		+	- The system is very fast
		+
		+	Maybe a more detailed presentation of OpenZaurus should be made on the wiki.
		+
		+
		+	== Partitionning the hard drive ==
		+
		+	OpenZaurus 3.5.4.1Alpha1 features a 2.6 kernel and will install the base system to the microdrive instead of NAND memory. As a result, this requires the user to adapt the microdrive partitions size. '''NOTE: repartionning the microdrive will erase all contained data. Be sure to make a backup of your documents if any.'''
		+
		+	The partitions used by OpenZaurus are:
		+	/dev/hda1 = base system mounted under /
		+	/dev/hda2 = user home mounted under /home
		+	/dev/hda3 = storage mounted under /media/hd
		+
		+
		+	To create the appropriate partitions, launch a terminal on your Zaurus and issue the following commands:
		+
		+	# fdisk /dev/hda
		+
		+	Command (m for help): o (Blow away the partition table)
		+
		+	Command (m for help): n (New partition)
		+	Partition type: p (Primary partition [1-4])
		+	Partition number (1-4): 1 (Root partition)
		+	First cylinder (1-7936, default 1): 1 (Start of disk)
		+	Last cylinder or size: +256M (256 Mbyte, adjust as desired)
		+
		+	Command (m for help): n (New partition)
		+	Partition type: p (Primary partition [1-4])
		+	Partition number (1-4): 2 (Home partition)
		+	First cylinder (1-7936, default 1): [hit enter] (Just after hda1)
		+	Last cylinder or size: +128M (128 Mbyte, adjust as desired)
		+
		+	Command (m for help): n (New partition)
		+	Partition type: p (Primary partition [1-4])
		+	Partition number (1-4): 3 (Root partition)
		+	First cylinder (1-7936, default 1): [hit enter] (Just after hda2)
		+	Last cylinder or size: [hit enter] (Rest of disk)
		+	Command (m for help): w (Write to disk)
		+
		+
		+	== Downloading files to CF/SD for flashing ==
		+
		+	You will need the following files in the root directory of a CF or SD card. The filenames are case sensitive:
		+
		+	* gnu-tar
		+	* hdimage1.tgz
		+	* zImage.bin
		+	* updater.sh
		+
		+	You can download the files from the following link:
		+	http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/tmp/hrw/3.5.4.1-test/alpha1/spitz-borzoi/
		+
		+	but you will need to rename them:
		+	zImage-2.6.15-spitz-20060320074320.bin to zImage.bin
		+	updater.sh-slc3200 to updater.sh
		+	opie-image-3.5.4.1-alpha1-spitz.rootfs.tar.gz to hdimage1.tgz if you want OPIE environment
		+	gpe-image-3.5.4.1-alpha1-spitz.rootfs.tar.gz to hdimage1.tgz if you want GPE environment
		+
		+	== Flashing Instructions ==
		+
		+	1. Turn the zaurus over and flip the battery case switch to â€œUnlockedâ€. Remove the battery cover, and find the small reset microswitch on the left. The battery cover or the stylus can be used to press it.
		+	2. Replace the battery cover and switch to â€œLockedâ€.
		+	3. Insert the CF card if not inserted already
		+	4. Plug in the AC power jack. The yellow charge lamp must be on indicating external power, or you will get an error message in japanese later.
		+	5. Press the â€œOKâ€ key (in the middle of the arrow keys) and keep it pressed while pressing the â€œOn/Offâ€ button on the front of the device.
		+	6. The Maintenance Screen will display. Choose â€œUpdateâ€ this is item 4.
		+	7. The next screen will ask for the source to install the image from. Choose â€œCFâ€ or SD as appropriate.
		+	8. The next screen asks for confirmation, choose â€œYâ€ (Yes) this is the left button
		+	9. The Zaurus will now erase the flash, write the new image, then reboot to your new Operating System
		+
		+
		+	== Finalisation ==
		+
		+	''Note: I think this would be more logical to do this after having created the partitions, but I did it here. Please someone edit this page after having tried other way...''
		+
		+	You will need to partition hda2 and hda3 of the microdrive:
		+
		+	mke2fs -j /dev/hda2
		+	mke2fs -j /dev/hda3 (don't know how to format to vfat, ie fat32).
		+
