6000 - Tosa / moving /home to /mnt/cf/home ?

/mnt/sd would make sense. /mnt/card was a bit of a surprise to me. But easy to figure out in the end.
Thanks again,

Tyris,

Thanks, your directions worked perfectly.  Now I\'m thinking of all the software I want to install.

6000 - Tosa / moving /home to /mnt/cf/home ?

« on: May 16, 2004, 09:59:35 pm »

I just got my 6000 yesterday -- I\'ve been without a PDA since my Casio E100 days long ago. Im blown away by the capabilities of this thing, wireless networking worked first try. I\'ve got smbmount mounting my mp3\'s from my linux desktop. this thing is unbelievable.  

I did have a few issues:

Im trying to reduce the wear and tear on internal flash by moving everything offboard.
Has anyone tried moving /home or /home/zaurus to /mnt/cf/ via a symlink?

I did a cp -a /home/zaurus to my cf card (formated vfat) then symlinked it back to /home. Unfortunately none of my address or calendar entries were visible until I undid the changes.

I\'m new to the Zaurus.
I tried this on my 5600 and it filled the SD card???
I would like to move my user files and as many programs as possible to the SD card so that I can install more programs.
I\'ve seen in the Calendar program a menu item that says Link and then lists the SD and CF cards. Does this means the program will find calendar files on these cards?

So much to learn. Such a cool computer.
thanks
