Some stupid questions for a very newbye:
- I just bought an SL-5600 on an Amazon special offer...
\"version\" says: rom version 1.00! (isn\'t the current ROM at 3.1? Did they sell me something very old? Reported kernel version is 2.4.18, Embedix is 2.0. I am a bit puzzled...
- I didn\'t patch the kernel of my linuxbox to use the USB connection yet, but I got a Socket 10/100 Ethernet card that I was able to put at work nicely after some work. It was a surprise to find that no ftp server is running on the machine (no, nothing on port 4242: I found something on 4244 but it is not an ftp). Is it normal?
Mainly, my sync needs are limited to the address book: I saw that the addressbook can read .vcf (personal info data are stored in a .vcf file) but I wasn\'t able to import a .vcf copied from the my linuxbox using the Zaurus ftp client into it. Is there any software which allow this? Or any program to easily synchronise the addressbook via the ethernet IF?
TIA

The latest 5600 ROM is 1.32. The 3.1 ROM is for the 5500 *only* so don\'t go trying to install it on your 5600, but is generally equivalent to the 5600 1.32 ROM
Ever since the 5500 was upgraded to the 3.1 ROM the FTP server was removed and replaced by samba. This is what all the Zaurii use now.
The addressbook can only import vcf files that are beamed to your Zaurus via IR.
