i just upgraded my sl-c860 to x11 cacko.
it uses konqueror. when browsing and
try to download a gzip file itll display
it instead of download it. where can i configure
this stuff.
second question, i have a 512mb sd card and i want to move as much data off memory to it. is there
somewhere i can read about doing this?
third, is there an office package for x11 rom?

First of all thanks for trying this ROM, for those of us with a C series it\'s by far the best ROM IMHO
To answer your questions:
1. I have no idea how you configure konqueror to do that. All I can suggest is to WGET the file in a terminal. An example is listed below:
wget http://foxdie.timduru.org/zaurus/rfcomm.conf
2. All I can suggest is installing all apps to /mnt/card (which is the SD card), you get the option to do that when you install with qPackager.
3. There are 2 package lists, one of which we host which is a mirror of the first.
The main one is at http://www.cacko.biz/ipk_feed.php (http://www.cacko.biz/ipk_feed.php) which lists all the IPK\'s and their functions, the raw feed is at http://www.cacko.biz/feed (http://www.cacko.biz/feed)
The problem with the Cacko site is it\'s hosting is in Russia I believe so it\'s transfer rates to the UK and USA can be slow. They do their best though and we love them for it.
So to help Cacko out the ZUG hosts a mirror which you can find at http://www.zaurususergroup.com/x11feed/ (http://www.zaurususergroup.com/x11feed/) which updates perhaps every 2 or so days from the main list.
I suggest you add either feed to qPackager so that when you install an application it will automatically (usually) install all dependancy modules. To do this open up a terminal and do the following:
SciTE /etc/ipkg.conf
Which will open up SciTE (a great text editor if not something better) with something similar to the following:
src cacko-unstable http://www.zaurususergroup.com/x11feed
dest root /
dest tmpinst /home/tmp/ipkg/inst
Change the url to point to whichever feed you want, making sure there is no forward slash / at the end.
As for installing to the SD card I think there\'s a specific procedure to do it in the terminal, I don\'t know as I\'ve not yet had the need to install to either a SD or CF card.
Good luck.

the x11 rom is definetely much better
as for using wget i already do that, however im unable to cut and paste. how can i copy a url? i tried using fn-copy in
the c860 but no luck. is there alternative
browsers?
ass for qpackager, where do i set where i want my apps installed in qpackager?
thanks a ton.
-
In the X11 ROM, the Calendar key is CTRL so pressing Calendar + C will copy things to the clipboard.
I took a further look at qPackager, the option to install to different locations is in the top right hand corner, change the / to /mnt/card to install on the SD card
-
thats what i needed
is there the pipe symbol anywhere on the c860. i cant find it
sometimes i iwant to use grep
thanks a million!!!
-
The pipe is located over the L key, so pressing fn+L will give you a pipe.
No problem
-
one more questoin
im unable to cut/paste from browser to terminal
is there a reason? Is there a better terminal to use than this default one?
what AIm and MSN clients are available for the X11 rom?
-
To paste to a terminal you click on the text in the terminal window (anywhere will do, just make sure the caret / text cursor is where you want the paste to happen) with the middle mouse button (so that means press ctrl+2 before you click).
-
so ctrl-1 to 3 are the mouse buttons? where can i read what keys are bound to what
most of these keys i dont know what they are
