I\'ve installed OZ 3.3.6-pre1 on my SL5600. I\'ve never used OZ before so please don\'t flame me...
It look like that I\'ve still have the sharp rom structure in /home
root@openzaurus:/home# ls -l
drwxr-x--- 16 root 500 0 Dec 31 19:01 QtPalmtop
drwxrwsr-x 10 root root 0 Dec 31 19:03 etc
drwxrwxr-x 5 root root 0 Sep 23 2003 root
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 5 2003 samba
drwxrwxr-x 7 root root 0 Feb 16 2003 sharp
drwxrwxr-x 3 root root 0 Feb 16 2003 system
drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 0 Dec 5 2003 tmp
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 0 Feb 16 2003 userdata
drwx------ 7 500 500 0 Sep 22 2003 zaurus
Install procedure:
- flash the OZ files using a CF card
- reset
- format
- oz install all the packages (202 ipks) and boot opie
Here is my mount devices:
/dev/root on / type jffs2 (rw,noatime)
ramfs on /dev type ramfs (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
/dev/mtdblock3 on /home type jffs2 (rw,noatime)
ramfs on /var type ramfs (rw)
I can\'t install anything, I\'ve got ~500K space left on the root partition...

As you have a /home/zaurus directory (which you wouldn\'t have with OZ) I\'d guess that the install hasn\'t gone quite to plan.
I don\'t have a 5600 so I don\'t know how to go about fixing it. Do you have to perform a format of the filespace or something like that?
I\'ve no idea.

I\'ve looked the openzaurus mail list archives and I\'ve found this:
/etc/ipkg.conf -] replace /mnt/ram to /home
/usr/sbin/ipkg-link -] replace /mnt/ram to /home
and I\'ve done:
cd /home
rm -rf *
do I need to do something else?
-
For now, OpenZaurus for C7x0 and 5600 doesn\'t touch the 2nd flash partition. You can do with it whatever you want. We only flash the first one.
-
Wouldn\'t the format clean the partitions before installing oz? I would think it should?
Also.. this is interesting as I have sl-5600 and I\'m ready to install opern zaurus for first time instead of sharp roms. Is 3.3.6 viable instead of 3.3.5? Hmm.. all ready to go with 3.3.5 and now I find out about a new release . It didnt say it was compatible with sl-5600 though,, any known issues yet?
Thanks

Also, one more question... do you need the updater.sh as well ? SOmeone made mention of this and that it wasnt part of the new rom. Or will oz not need that ?
Tks..

Well I have same problem on sl-5600. I have 98% used of / and I have a /home/zaurus too from sharp rom. If it only writes to part of the rom, is there a file writeup or a script that can delete the Sharp files /directories that OZ isnt using? Or a list of the files and directories we should expect to see so we can manually delete those that aren\'t needed?
Thanks

Was there any resolution to this? I can install things on my SD card of course, but obviously that isn\'t ideal
-
How can I just dump everything on my Zaurus and reload from scratch? I want no remnants of apps or other flashes. Then I will reflash with 3.3.6 and try again.

cd /home
rm -rf *
do I need to do something else?
How did this work out for you? Did it cause any unwanted problems with OZ?

I moved my /opt directory to the second partition and I didn\'t have any problems with this setup. Basically I did the following:
rm -rf /home/*
cd opt
tar c * | ( cd /home ; tar xvf - )
rm -rf /opt/*
vi /etc/fstab, change /home to /opt
umount /home
mount /opt
restart Opie.
