Deals and Great Z Buys / Where Can One Buy A SL-6000??

« on: August 13, 2004, 10:46:23 pm »

I've seen the auction currently on ebay, and I've seen the 6000 on Amazon. If you know of any place that might sell it for less (or you just want to get rid of yours for some odd reason), please step forward  ! Thanks.

Linux Issues / Linux sync troubles

Point taken. All I saw on the Sharp page was the section titled "Zaurus OS Upgrade for Mac and Linux® Users." I failed to notice that last bullet point. Pretty typical of me... Rereading your first post, I think that simply using a CF card to transfer programs and docs between the Zaurus and Linux is actually all I need. To be honest, I rarely use the PIM functions on the Zaurus, and mainly use it to take notes. For that, the CF and SCP methods will be fine. Thanks for your time! By the way, I still can't tell figure out how to let Linux see the USB cradle... any ideas? Thanks again!

Linux Issues / Linux sync troubles

Looks great. I've looked around for directions on Linux install, and have never found any that are that clear and easy to understand (for newbies like myself    ).

However, the instructions deal with the SL-5500, which is identical to my SL-5000D in every way except for the internal storage (5500 has 64MB while my 5000D has only 32MB).  Both of the files are larger than the onboard storage of the 5000D. Will the size be reduced in the installation, or am I just out o' luck? Thanks again! I want to make sure that I won't be completely wiping the Zaurus if it does not have enough storage to contain the new ROM.

Linux Issues / Linux sync troubles

« on: August 09, 2004, 11:48:47 am »

Hello...
I've used my Sharp Zaurus SL-5000D in Windows XP for the past year or so. Recently, I set up a computer running Xandros Linux Desktop 2.0 (Debian-based). I'd like to be able to sync my Zaurus with the Linux system, or even simply be able to FTP or Telnet to the Zaurus. However, even after installing a Linux version or Qtopia Desktop, I am unable to sync. I'm using the USB Cradle, and I'm not sure that Xanros sees the dock. Any advice on syncing in Linux? I'm (very) new to Linux on the desktop, and would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hello all!
I'm upgrading from my trusty 5000D, and am thinking of purchasing a Zaurus 6000. Feel free to email me with any info about used (or new) 6000's. (I've considered the clamshells, but need the durability that the 6000 reportedly has). Let's hope my first post is worthwhile  ! Also, if anyone is interested in buying my old 5000D, feel free to email. Thanks! I live in the USA, and would be open to any offers from around the world.
