So, after hqving my 5600 for a mere three days, I,ve done something to really mess it up.
when I tap on the Add/Remove Software icon, the burst/overlay shows up. i get an hourglass on the taskbar. but that\'s it. i tried to run it in konsole, but I,m not sure what the command is.
without doing a full wipe, what can i check?
I\'m still a linux neophyte.

using Tab Manager, I determined that the add/remove software icon is linked to qinstall. when i run it in konsole, it tells me it is not found. So where in the world did it go??
I,m sure it is still on the rom somewhere and i just need to restore the symlink. but what to link to?
-
It should be in /usr/QtPalmtop.rom/bin. /usr/QtPalmtop.rom/bin/qinstall is an symlink to quickexec, which is in the same directory.

Can\'t say about the 5x00s, but on C860 qinstall is in
/home/QtPalmtop/bin/
and sym linked to
./quickexec
which is itself sym linked to
/user/QtPalmtop.rom/bin/quickexec
all owned by root/qpe
I *think* quickexec is the \"quick launch\" app but how other apps communicate with quickexec, I don\'t know.

Awesome. I guess the more I screw this up, the more opportunity I have to learn about Linux. Thanks, you guys!
works now.
