 Come on People help a newbie looking to do some cool hacking on this great computer.

Big problem at the moment... Im stuck to a power socket  


Im in the UK and desperately need either a new battery or a power battery pack I can carry with me.. I have seen some on ebay in the USA, but i would rather get one from Europe if I can..


Come on people help... I have searched loads but not found any specific links.. Just one other thing I am trying to do this on a buget.

Thanks in advance for any help....

Just tried a reflash... same sort of results. The first time I booted up it just hung on the encryption key generation?
still no GUI?

Hello and greetings fellow Zaurus owners.

I have just installed Open Zaurus & it seems to boot fine. What now?

I have logged in as root & issued a few basic Linux commands and everything seems fine. But I do not know how I can start a desktop/Xserver or even if I have this software installed.

Question: Do I need to install a window manager and X server(or alternative), or is it already installed I just need to issue some commands?

TIA
