Yo Fred,
tried the gpe and it looked great, was even able to build Minimo (from the
http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.3/feed/x11), but my simpad has only 32mB (and 32 mB flash) so I don't think gpe suits him (mabye after modding him with a sd-card...). So installed the Opie (large) and that looked even greater; seems like this is the opie 3.5.3 (witch also runs on my collie and i like very much...) and beside some minor grafical hums (some of the images seems to me a bit blury as if the are maded for a smaller screen (the collie perhaps?) ) it looks great. Still everyone is forgetting to put the cf card in de etc/fstab but beside that; great work has been done!
Are you working with the opensimpad.org, and is this a possible 0.9rc2 or are you just 'one your own'?
