Sharp ROMs / Application Installation

« on: September 05, 2006, 01:56:57 pm »

So i have been using a combo of the package manager / flash card install for a couple weeks now with some success.  I got scummvm working along with my planex network card as well as opera.  I'd love to have an email program sync to hotmail or my schools email but i have tried to set up the email program that came with the Cacko rom package to no avail.

I saw that there is another email program "sylpheed" on the package manager.  It is Xqt - and i'm not sure what that means. Is that a different rom? and if so, what is it doing on the cacko feed?

Sharp ROMs / Application Installation

I just installed Cacko on my new C3200 and it looks great.  I'd like to install some applications, and it looks like it installs them, I just don't know how to run them once I've installed it.  I don't see any new icons, and don't know how to find the executable file.  Any help would be greately appriciated.

So which one is more supported?
I know from experience that doing simple things in pdaXrom is difficult and there is not much support for extreme beginners such as myself.

Where would I get OZ from?

Also, how do I install software if I can't use my zaurus as a usb drive.  I tried to install a file manager program, and it looks installed - but I can't access it. There is no icon.  What's the normal procedure for a program install? what files am I looking for, how do I transfer them, and how do i access the program once its installed?

I've been enthralled with the Zaurus ever since I saw a video of it online.  And since I did nothing but talk about it for months, my family decided to get it for me for my birthday (either to make me happy, or shut me up).

I realize that I have no linux background, and basic programming skills but I really wanted the zaurus to be my springboard for learning as much as it was fun.

I decided to give pdaXrom a try. I flashed it with no problem using an SD disk i had laying around.  Then I got stuck.

My family also bought the Planex wi-fi card for me, and this doesn't seem to be working.  When I put it in the zaurus when I had the sharp rom it seemed to recognize it as it started blinking.  The pdaXrom will not have my card blink (though it will recognize that it's there).

I tried to fix it as someone on this forum had recommended, but I have no idea how to go about doing that.

I also started 3 instances of clock on my pdaXrom and now i can't close them out of the toolbar.

The zoom feature seems to be disabled in pdaXrom as does the ability to use the zaurus as a USB drive.

The windows opened appear to be to big to fit in the zaurus screen and there's no way to resize them.

So, either I am asking advice on what i'm having problems with, or maybe someone could suggest a different rom.  I would also like to be pointed in the direction of a basic user manual for linux (moving around files). I am good at DOS, but the terminal seems unforgiving.

I eventually, want to be wireless & load up scummvm as well as several PIM/Office programs.  Thanks!  I admire you all.
