I think this would be a good idea: Dynamic feeds, Like those with accounts can create their own feeds with packages on the site, or create a feed with a package and all its dependancies in the same feed and nothing else.

Software / nano

« on: September 26, 2004, 08:16:33 pm »

It's quite frustrating that none of the zaurus distros come with nano preinstalled

does anyone know how i can install it? what libs do i need, etc.

I downloaded the nano binary from ZSI, and ncurses-base and libncurses5 from ipkgfind.

couldnt someone make a nice ipkg of all that?

If it was embeddedapps then you could also offer other software for different embedded devices on the site. I dont know wether he wants to do a linux only site, or a zaurus only site, but embeddedapps is the most generic term i can think of lol.

Windows Issues / Funny USB Networking Quirk with OZ + XP

« on: September 21, 2004, 08:33:31 pm »

With mine, i managed to connect the zaurus to the computer, and it would detect the networking, i SCPed the zImage and initrd.bin files over SSH to the CompactFlash card (could have done this with a card reader if i had one) and just reflashed as normal.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Anyone recommend a good wifi card?

« on: September 21, 2004, 03:30:49 pm »

I've got a Linksys Wireless CompactFlash card, WCF12.
It's good for short periods, however it gets rather hot after a while and it will freeze the zaurus. My PCMCIA wifi card on my laptop does the EXACT same thing, just takes longer, so i assume most wifi cards do this after a few hours?

Its a good card though, still works after being hot enough to burn my fingers heh.

Windows Issues / Funny USB Networking Quirk with OZ + XP

Ive tried this on three different OZ roms (3.3.5/opie, 3.5.1/opie, 3.5.1/gpe).

I assume this happens on all windows XP versions although I am using SP2 (Am I the only one? Alot of people i know have had great trouble installing it)

If you plug the zaurus in while its on, USB Networking fails and windows gives you the "USB Device Not Recognised" error, which i have _never_ seen before.

However, if you turn the zaurus off using the battery compartment slider, then turn it back on, and plug it in before it's booted, usb networking works fine. However, if you unplug it after you plugged it in and its all loaded up, the "USB Device Not Recognised" error come back.

This doesnt happen on the Sharp ROM, i havent tried anything else yet, i did a quick search and didnt find anything on the boards, has anyone else seen this before?
