Merc, thank you very much! It is a very interesting information! For a last weeks I tried find WLAN cards for Zaurus, but the markt looked like a desert! Nobody sell them. The reason is clear to me now. I crossed my fingers!

Hi,
the Planex card is Prism3 based. So you need to update
the SHARP Rom (should also work with Cacko).
The needed IPKs are available in our download area:

Hi All,
I just saw in Interenet the CF-card, which is certified for Zaurus ( http://www.optimus.co.th/planex/product/pr...p?p_id=GW-CF11H )and have a question:
did somebody tried such a card or has any info about it? And, if yes, how is possible to find what kind of chip is in the card? Prism 2.5 may be?
It is wrote, that the card works immediately with Cacko 1.23, but I think also about the accu use.
Thanks in advance!

Software / How Do You Run Software?

« on: August 23, 2006, 05:56:00 pm »

I seem to have got my head round installing things, using various packages (this is in cacko 1.23) but I can't for the life of me figure out how to run them.  I would like to set it up so I can launch them graphically using an icon.  For instance I just  installed ZBedict, but I've no idea how to start it at all.  The installation all seemed fine.

Did you install the static version of the ZBedict? If no - you have to find and install some extra packages. Without them it just show the flush on the icon, but starts nothing.

Sharp ROMs / Multi-partition Sd + Cacko File Manager

Hi,
I did not try to mount during the boot the extra slices on my SD-card, but is it not easier just insert the mount string at the end of the "start" section  in the file "/etc/init.d/sd" ? And, sure, umount in "stop" section.
Sorry, if it is so stupid, I am a novice in Zaurus. But it looks more natural. Of course better is to edit the "/etc/fstab", but it is more dangerous, IMHO.

Accessories / Swap On Sd - Is It Possible?

« on: August 22, 2006, 04:49:03 pm »

Hmmm... Interesting. This brandname "transcend" was enough to play. At last I bought another SD-card. Noname 1GB for 19.90. And it works. Perfect. I could create 2 slices, make a swap and so on. Is it true, that cheaper card is better?

Accessories / Swap On Sd - Is It Possible?

« on: August 06, 2006, 08:02:54 am »

use
dd if=/dev/zero of=<path to sd card>/swapfile bs=1024k count=<size in MB>
mkswap <path to sd card>/swapfile
swapon <path to sd card>/swapfile

changing anything inside <> to what it specifies
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=137506\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I used it, like described at the first message. During the dd command my Zaurus hanged ande the power (battery charge) went down. Some time later (any timeout?) the card was mounted read-only. And the size of the created file was some hundred K only. So it looks very similar the reaction of the system to the swap creation tries by applet and from terminal emulator.

cacko has a memory applet.

click on it on lower right corner.  highlight sd and create sd swap file.  after it is created, highlight sd again and say "ON" and you have more memory.

Thank for the answer, but in what I described in the first message, the memory applet named I "memory plugins". All the first hang problems had I with the try to create the SD swap file.    And, as I see, it is not an applet problem, cose the same is with the ordinary "dd".

Accessories / Swap On Sd - Is It Possible?

Hi All,

I am a new happy owner of the C1000. The OS is Cacko 1.23.
So, to use as a storage I bought a new SD card Transcend - 1GB. It works. What is the next step? Sure, I tried create a swap on the card. First try was with the memory plugins. There was no reaction for a long time. Just the battery went down slowly. Then everything has aborted. I checked the mount options - SD card is mounted read-only!    Second, third try - all the same. My battery was already empty. Recharged and again - the same. Then I decided make everything manually and started "dd". The same. The card in SysInfo is recignised as "Hitachi". Of course I have rebooted or remounted the card every time.
Could anybody advise me something to create a swap on the SD?

Thanks in advance!
