General Discussion / What ROM is best

« on: March 12, 2004, 09:52:50 pm »

What is the best ROM for the SL-5600?  Should I just leave the one on it that came with it?  I have problems opening more then one program at once (keep rinning out of memory), and i really want to make the screen rotate! Or can i do that with the one ROM I have?  

What are the perks of different ROM\'s

Thanks,

Sl-5600
SanDisk 256MB
Ambicom WiFi
Sharp ROM 1.21

All I had to do was configure it in the network settings and it worked fine.

General Discussion / How to change screen saver

I\'ve gone through all the steps everyone has posted and discovered i don\'t have a bouncing \"Zaurus\" for a screen saver.  I have the date and time bouncing around.  

I opened logo-zaurus.png and it\'s a zaurus logo, so where is the date and time screensaver coming from?  

dcbpe, what part of Jersey are you from?

Thanks for all the posts... sorry the delay in response but i\'ve been away with work.

Linux is no joke to learn...

I have a SL-5600 and was wondering if there was any Linux drivers I need to get to install the ambicom (WL1100c-CF) wireless CF card?  I don\'t see anyting on the CD and didn\'t want to plug it in before I knew for sure.

I appreciate the \"plug-in\" link but i want to learn this the hard way... which i\'m sure is through terminal.  

Can anyone tell me the terminal way to do it.....

Thanks

I know this is going to hurt but here comes the dumb questions.
1. I used file manager to see /home/QtPalmtop/pics/Zaurus_logo.png, but could not see Zaurus_logo.png.  The only one i saw was zoom.png.  

2. Is the file extension .png just an image file, like jpg or bmp?

3. how do I log in as root

4. I\'m assuming using file manager is not the way to go, I should be using terminal right?  Can you give me some basic commands to get me going?

Thanks....

How do you install/change to a new screen saver with the SL - 5600

I have terminal installed.  I\'m 100% new to linux so go easy on me.  The main reason I got this PDA was to lean Linux.  I figured I would start with some easy questions like changing the screen saver.  Please include any other tips, books, commands that would be helpful.  

Thanks,
JB
