I just recieved mine tonite, despite the attempts by the UPS man to thwart me (he arrived at my apartment at 2:34pm, of course I was not home).
At any rate, all I can say is wow. This is my first Zaurus but I\'m a fairly accomplished Linux user. A few questions though. I noticed a distinct lack of a compiler. Where can I get one? (preferably gcc/g++ of course) Also, are there any browsers for it that\'ll support flash or tabbed browsing. I use Opera on my desktops, and those are some features I truely miss on the Zaurus.
I also noticed a myriad of other fairly standard Linux commands missing, but I\'m sure I can fill those in over time. My main concern is a compiler though, is there one on the CD and I simply overlooked it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to the Zaurus community!
For gcc, I\'d recommend using the zgcc2 cramfs images as there is so much stuff needed. They were at http://community.zaurus.com (http://community.zaurus.com), although that got taken down
But you can still get zgcc2 here:
https://www.oesf.org/downl...zgcc2Bin.cramfs (http://www.elsix.org/downloads/zgcc2Bin.cramfs)
https://www.oesf.org/downl...zgcc2Inc.cramfs (http://www.elsix.org/downloads/zgcc2Inc.cramfs)
With instructions:
https://www.oesf.org/downl...cc2install.html (http://www.elsix.org/downloads/zgcc2install.html)
As for other Linux utilities, the best places to look are:
http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus (http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus)
http://prdownloads.sf.net/zaurus (http://prdownloads.sf.net/zaurus) (Some stuff is a bit old as this is a discontinued SF project)
Google is also your friend.

Ok, I know I\'m not a moron, but having problems with mounting those cramfs files. Has anyone else actually got this installed and whatnot on a 6000?
I\'m trying to do it all from the internal flash, and it\'s telling me something along the lines of \"That isn\'t a Block Device\" I\'d put the error up verbatim but I recently had to re-format my Zaurus since the root password I\'d set, and used a few times somehow stopped working.

Try this: mount -oloop IMAGE_FILE MOUNT_DIR
eg: mount -oloop cramfs_image.rom /mnt/cramfs

Ps: This works on my sl-5500 don\'t know about the sl-6000 as I don\'t have one.

Excellent! That did it, thanks!

You may also try this image:
http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php...download&sid=66 (http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=UpDownload&file=index&req=viewsdownload&sid=66)
It includes pretty much everything you may need.
