Title: ATTN :derekp
Post by: Anonymous on March 03, 2004, 01:59:35 pm

Hello there. I was wondering if you would take on a side project of building me a custom ROM. I have an 860 and I would like some additional features to the tkc ROM. I am happy to pay of course if we can arrive at a mutually beneficial understanding.

What do you think?

Interested?

I only have an sl5500, and don\'t have any of the tools for building/testing roms for the other models (the 5500 uses a cramfs rom image, whereas all the other zaurus\'s use a jffs2 flash image).
What features were you looking for?  I believe that on the 860, you can re-mount the root filesystem read-write and modify stuff directly (mount -oremount,rw /).  Otherwise, if you have a regular linux box, you can use the mtdram device for reading in an existing jffs2 image, and modify it there.  See the instructions at http://www.handhelds.org/z/wiki/LoopBack (http://www.handhelds.org/z/wiki/LoopBack) for details.
