Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom Installation Documentation

« on: March 29, 2008, 09:02:39 am »

Sometime ago I had pdaxrom installed on a 750, I've had a 760 for a while but not touched it for a few years.

Thought I would have a go at installing either Open Zaurus or pdaxrom.  I've found the web site a bit lacking in respect of documentation,  and the openzaurus isn't much better either.

Perhaps I've missed some obvious links on the homepages!

Where are the install guides?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / C3000

« on: May 02, 2005, 11:11:49 am »

The instructions are quite specific about repartitioning,  i.e. dont do it and I wasn't sure if mine had been altered by Shirtpocket.   Having looked more closely I can see that they haven't the other thing that was throwing was my 4Gb was sitting on /dev/hdd,  and I'm pretty sure the OZ installer script writes to /dev/hda.   I've resolved that by remembering to take out the SD card!

Are english Sharp ROMS easily available?   How feasible is it then for me to backup what my current install so that I can revert back to it if needed?

Install instructions: http://openzaurus.org/wordpress/installation/sl-c3000/ - follow them CLOSELY.

1) Ensure that your C3000 machine has a standard flash partitioning (e.g. as it was originally), flashing may fail if this is not the case

That's the bit that is throwing me,  cause my partitioning layout isn't as described by C3000 device specifics!
Can you produce outputs of the following for me,  please.

fdisk -l
mount
df -h

Thanks.

sometime later

  it would help if I had removed the SD card before a reboot!!!

I've previously installed the pdaxrom onto a 860.   The C3000 is a different beast altogether.   I've read the C3000 Device Specifics which refers to the 4Gb hdd on /dev/hdd,  the layout of my C3000 though is like this

# fdisk -l

I don't want to make a brick,  any advice would be appreciated,  i.e. can I just follow the install instruction and have OZ installed.   Also where can I get some screen shots  of OZ in action?

You could try the English manual by TRISoft...

Yes excellent,  thanks.   Looks like backup is a non starter then.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / SL-C3000 Support?

I've replaced my 860 with a 3000,  I prefer pdax over the Sharp rom.

I bought the 3000 from Shirt Pocket, and would prefer to backup the system before experimenting :-)

Has anyone got a breakdown of the Japanese service menu options in english or a url which explains all the options?

I have a 860,  none of the Wellenreiter ipkg files will allow me to install the app :-(

Is there a guide or any other doc which will show me the way ?

Software / scp errors

I\'m getting

Disconnecting: Bad packet length

errors when using scp over a wireless connection to my 860.   Any idea how to resolve this with out having to resort to cable ?

Software / font problem

« on: June 20, 2004, 12:40:52 pm »

I removed the qkonsole and installed qpe-terminal instead.   I found the fonts annoying especially the spacing,  the default install of qpe-terminal is better but I guess installing suitable fonts would make things even better.
