Ok, here are the two revised scripts in the after installation tarball. I would appreciate it very much if you folks could comment on it and help me spot any low-level mistakes. Will add them to the next version of the after installation tarball if things seem alright. Thanks in advance.
Reporting success installing Angstrom Kernel 2.6.21 + EABI File system on a C700. I did the afterinstall steps manually following the directions on Zdevil scripts. Some of the steps were not needed as follows:
1sf-cfg.sh
- I didn't need to install console-tools or libconsole. The system boot without complain about the console
- I didn't have to do the keymap section as keyboard was working perfectly.
2nd-cfg.sh
- on X server section, 2 of the files were not installed: grun and ice-gnome-support due to dependency issues.
- Touchscreen needed some changes as per afterinstall comments on the wiki (comment lines on /etc/ts.conf and replace usr/bin/X with those 2 lines described on the wiki). Without those changes the touchscreen was not working.
- audio section didn't need modprobe snd-soc-spitz as the module was already loaded (by the way the module loaded on C700 is snd-soc-corgi and it works great !!!!)
Now the bad news .... When trying to apt-get most of the programs (xcfe4, gimp, gnumeric, ice-weasel, nautilus, evolution, etc) i get errors because of the known broken package libgtk2.0 being discussed [a href=\'index.php?showtopic=25015\']here[/a]. Hopefully the repository version mismatch will get fixed soon.
One other thing I noticed is that pccardctl is not found so if I want to swap the wireless card for the microdrive I have to shutdown, turn off and reboot. I tried apt-get install pccardctl but it didn't find any packages with that name. Any idea?
So far has tried dillo, sylpheed-claws and xmms and performance is great. I'm really surprised as barely none of the other distributions works good on the C700 with its limited RAM and FLASH memory. However this debian combination is amazingly fast.
