Title: I Want To Help... How?
Post by: Willow on June 29, 2005, 07:59:07 am

Hey, you guys did a marvelous job at this OS.

My problem is that I cannot use the ROM untill the on/off button is fixed. However, my other problem is that I am impatient sod and just want to play with it because it seems much more fun than the sharp rom.

Solution, solve the on/off problem yourself. This causes the next problem, how? And where do I start to figure out how for this and other problems?

I dont have an enormous background in linux. I've been running debian on my system for 10 years. I do programming in a variety of languages. Some of it even professional. I did some scripting in linux and configured a bunch of applications for personal use.

Could you guys give me some links to information about the OZ rom? Is there a knowledge base or a series of howto's? Anything that helps me to get started and learn more about the inner workings of the system is very much appreciated.

I imagine the developers would love the help, since they seem like they are a bit over-worked maintaining this, the greatest OS for Zaurii ever. Check out this page

Or post a note to the mailing list and let them know you want to help out.

There are a few developers here too so they may be able to answer your question better than I, a lowly Debian zealot.
