Sorry IRO should be IRK, which is a IR keyboard driver....  Could you tell me how to run opie-media player2 from the command line?

Edit:  Duh, you would think that by now I would have learned to read.  Sorry for answering the wrong question....

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / OZ 3.5.1 installed, now what?

I just dusted off my old Z 5500, and even ordered a new battery for it.  I installed and tried both images (GPE and Opie) for OZ 3.5.1.  Both are nice, and I kinda like GPE better, but not by much.  I have had problems w/both though.

    I seem to have lots of dependency problems in Opie, and things just don't work when they are installed.  For example I couldn't get konqueror to run until I added several extra feeds to my ipkg.conf file (I'm not sure which one cleared up the problem).  I still can't get gaim, IRO, OpieMediaPlayer2... etc. to install.  I'm installing to an SD card in ext2 format, and using the ipkg-link command after every install.

     With GPE I can never seem to get the ipkg.conf file set up correctly, so I don't know if I will have the same problems with it.  At one time I did get everything running, and even got minimo and dillo2 installed, but something weird happened and the Z got caught up in a loop in a reboot and never recovered.  I can't for the life of me remember what I did to get it to work.

    Here are the 3.5.1 feeds I have in my ipkg.conf file to get konqueror running.

     Does anyone else have trouble installing software on OZ 3.5.1?  If anyone could help, I would like to have gaim, some wordprocessor/speadsheet, IRK, a media player, and a nice webbrowser.  GPE is preffered, but it really doesn't matter.  If anyone has a minute, I would appreciate some help.  

Thanks in advance.

P.S.  Is there a list of packages I should install immediately to avoid dependency problems?  It seemed to help when i installed a bunch of simple programs first.  I don't know why.  Should I set Force Depends in the package manager?
