to get nethack to work

chown zaurus -R /home/QtPalmtop/games/lib/nethackdir/nethackdir

you also need to edit the nethack.cnf and change

QT_FONTSIZE=tiny
QT_TILEWIDTH=8
QT_TILEHEIGHT=11

to

QT_FONTSIZE=large
QT_TILEWIDTH=32
QT_TILEHEIGHT=32

so its not so small

Site Suggestions, Requests, and Updates / single user mode

« on: May 03, 2004, 06:23:14 pm »

i added a  wiki page for Run Levels under the Developing section.  correct any mistakes you find.  

instructions for run level 3 booting came from Foxdie

http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...ghlight=console


i got it boot to run level 1 on a reboot, so i used that instead of a reset or taking the battery out.  that is a the safer way.  it is still hit and miss to get it to work, thou.

from first post

To run the apps, you need Qt3 lib from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdepimpi/

the Qt3emb4zaurus is it.

Site Suggestions, Requests, and Updates / single user mode

while trying to change the default shell to bash, i some how changed the root  user name to Root.   :cry:  i found a post from Stubear about switching to single user mode, and was able to switch it back.  

http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...ingle+user+mode

i think his post would make a good how-to.   one thing, i did different was to do a reset, instead of taking the battery out.  it was still a pain to get into. took a couple of times to get it to work.  this was on the 6000L model, so they did not change it.

just got my price adjusted down to this.  the number is 1-800-201-7575, if anyone else ordered in the last 30 days.

with the $50 gift card they offered before 4/11, makes it a little better deal.
