Make sure that you have chroot in /hdd3/sbin (you need to copy it from /sbin)

The network config application is a python application so you can
edit /usr/bin/network.py  and modify the lines with

Code: [Select]

os.system("/sbin/cardctl eject")
os.system("/sbin/cardctl insert")

to only eject and insert the wifi card (add a 0?)

Hi ThC!

Thanks for description! I've managed to install RC10 with dual boot on my C3K. And it works!

As for troubles:

1) each time you'll type a command in the console you'll have a message about "using fallback suid method"

It goes from busybox: some problems with reading configuration file (/etc/busybox.conf). It was solved by changing owner of this file and all the binaries to root (chown root:root /etc/busybox.conf)
 

2) if your zaurus get into sleep mode the hd spin down and don't seem to be able to recover and you'll need to reboot

As I can see this is because of suspend script - it tries to eject all cards. And HDD is one of the cards for Z. So I've changed the script so that it touchs only slot 0:

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/apm:
...
cardctl eject 0
...
cardctl insert 0

4) lots of messages during boot time as ldconfig complaining about X libs not being symlinks ... but it don't seem to be a real problem

It's strange but cp -a copied links as files. I have moved all the directories from root-akita directory to hdd3 instead of copying them. In this case all links stay as links and number of messages during loading is quite reasonable  

There are still few problems with apps (e.g., WiFi configuration seems to restart pcmcia or eject/insert cards and after it HDD becomes unusable) we need to solve. But in general not bad I think
