Angstrom & OpenZaurus / SL5500:OZ 3.3.6pre1 & OPIE 1.1.4 Snapshot preload custom

First of all, I would like to thank Greg2 for the really useful link. Secondly, is anyone using a pdf viewer, email client that works with 3.3.6pre1? I am not able to get any working (qpdf, mailit, qtmail etc).

Dear All,

It seems that the initial url link in this thread is down?

I downloaded the the package from Bluey\'s site - thanks for that bluey. But I noticed that the zimage is providing no storage on ram. Being a new user of Zaurus and OZ, I am aware that you can store all your apps on an SD or CF card. I have a sandisk 256MB SD card which I can use. I have read some threads in the list regarding doing so but at the same time some ppl seem to be having problems with formatting Sandisk using ext2.

It would be really great if someone can point me to a detailed how-to on going ahead with this after flashing with the OZ in this thread. If this can include formatting SD using ext2 and then installing and running apps such as nmap, kismet, pdf viewer etc from the SD card, it would be great. I am sure most of you have already done this and if you can share your experience with the rest of us, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Giro

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / PDF Viewer, Mailit on 3.3.6pre1

« on: May 23, 2004, 08:22:59 pm »

Hi all,

I recently flashed my 5500 with 3.3.6pre1 and everything is going well. Got most of the apps working: kismet, nmap etc.

I have two questions: first, what alternative browsers are there that work with 3.3.6pre1, other than Konquerer.

Secondly, I have installed qpdf, qtmail and mailit using the gui Packages installer and the icons appear in Opie but they don\'t work. With PDF and Qtmail, when I click on them, the hour glass appears momentarily and so does the program icon in the status bar, but then it dissappears. As if it is trying to launch but unable to. As for mailit, once I click on it, it says that cannot find the application. I am running Opie 1.0.3 version that came with OZ 3.3.6 and I made sure to download the ipks from Opie\'s website for that particular release.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Cheers,
Giro
