Post by: Hyaky on January 23, 2007, 05:17:26 pm

Hi!
I read this tutorial: https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=How_to_install_pdaXrom (https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=How_to_install_pdaXrom)
and it says:

1-Format your SD or CF card in FAT file system.
2-Put these files on your card: You can download these 3 files from: ..

Code: [Select]

tools.tar
initrd.bin
updater.sh

I can't connect my SD card to my laptop, because I don't have any hardware, that could read it. Can I format my card to fat from zaurus, and download thous files and put them on the card thru zaurus? will it work, It has to be done thru computer? do I need some special software to write thous files, do they have to be in some structure or ..?

I'm running now Opie 1.2 OpenZaurus, but I really want to get pdaxrom running, I have C760. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Yes, you can put the files on the card by downloading them on your Zaurus.

If you're asking if you can use your Zaurus as a card reader, you can under pdaXrom, but I don't know about OZ.

Hope this helps.
