I tried \"mount /dev/cf /mnt/cf\" ..but I get \"mount: Mounting /dev/cd/ on /user/mnt.rom/cf failed: Invalid Argument\"  In vi ..how do you save a document, and how do you exit ..also, when you run into a problem like in a loop, in Unix you can do Ctrl+C ..and you will break and be able to type commands at the terminal again ..how do you do this on the Zaurus Linux console?
..also, does anyone know the directory in which Zaurus stores your documents in qtopia? ..you can see the files when in qtopia ..but how do you find them when using the terminal.
Also, can bash be installed on here??
Thanks!!!

Can anyone get this to work?
I have the two files you\'re supposed to install on my cf card ..but when I boot to the linux console terminal (option a when you reboot) and go to /mnt/cf/ ..and do ls, it doesn\'t display any files, though I know they are there and can be read from elsewhere.  Also, when I try to do anything with it, it says its read only? ..why is that?!
I\'m new to linux, so don\'t get too linux-technical on me..
I really need to install this..
Also, how do you create/edit a document/script through the command line here?
I have a 5500 if you need to know this..
Someone help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
