Title: Rom Follow Up
Post by: mmoralls on July 22, 2005, 12:24:36 am

Ok...I'd like to settle on a ROM and think this is the one. I previously checked out and liked the feeds and screenshots of the interface but when I went to install it appears pretty plain without the bells and whistles of others. But I guess that's what was intended. I don't mind doing a little detective work to figure out how things work without bugging people for answers. But from time to time I'd like to think that I can call on them when I do. So with that...

What is the utilities package for the configuration of the GUI (i.e. Network, screen look, time, etc.) called so I can fetch it?

and

Can any ipk work on any of these ROM's?

Thanks for the help.

What Z are you using?

How far did you go? did you type startx?
If you have a 6000 and just see X  without the bar and background etc..
do a little searching here, there are some steps like untaring something..
to do.

Thanks for responding....

I have an SL5500. Found and installed the ROM Laze/Sash made, fired up the GUI and works fine but just wanted to know if there was a basic utilities file that I could install to do config stuff (change screen setup, package manager to install software, adjust network settings, etc.) that comes with other ROMs.
