Ubuntu / Zubuntu 1.0 Rc1

« on: December 28, 2008, 08:44:57 am »

Hi,
I'd like to give the Ubuntu installation a try.
Can someone do a step by step guide for beginners like me.
At the moment I'm using Cacko on an SL-C3100 (completely standard).
I have a Belkin USB 10/100 ethernet adaptor (F5D5050) that I can connect to my home
network router and an ADSL internet connection. Do I need a anything else to get started?
I'm running Ubuntu edgy on my desktop PC if that helps.

David.

Hi,
I'd like to give the Ubuntu installation a try when it's a bit more stable.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Can't Install Cacko 1.23 On Sl-c3100

Hi,
Thanks for reading my post and all the replies.
I have managed to install Cacko now.
First of all I repartitioned the disk as detailed in the Trisoft quick start guide.
I then installed the Trisoft ROM as a test. It installed OK.
Finally I tried the Cacko ROM and I now have a usable PDA.
Is there a way to save the boot up messages to a text file for later reading as I saw quite a few error messages.
I'm just curious though, the system boots OK.
Thanks.

Hi,
I've backed up the current ROM using the D+M menu and confirmed that it can be restored.
I've copied initrd.bin, tools.tar and updater.sh from the Cacko download (1.23 FULL) onto a 256Mb CF and started the update from option 4 of the Japanese service menu.
All I get is a screen saying
Zaurus CF updater
Error opening terminal linux

On booting into the D+B menu and entering the following command with the CF card installed.

# fdisk -l /dev/hda

I get the following result

Disk /dev/hda: 256Mb 256376832 bytes
16 Heads,32 sectors/track, 978 cylinders
units = cylinders of 512 x 512 = 2562144 bytes
Device boot            start                end         blocks          id            system
/dev/hda1                 1                  977        250096          6             FAT16

On removing the CF card and issuing the same command I get

modprobe: modprobe: cant locate module block-major-3

The standard default Japanese Sharp ROM is installed at the moment and as I can't read Japanese it is unusable at the moment.

Can someone help me to install Cacko?

Thanks
