Angstrom & OpenZaurus / looking for opie-base 1.5

yes, I was indeed  trying to get stuff from the wrong feed.

I have a real newbie question. When I see the feed directory listing on various websites, what's the best way to get all the ipk files  into my pda. Right now, I keep right-clicking on each link in my browser, save the file, then copy the file into my CF card, and then load the CF card in my zaurus (I dont have WIFI yet). This is a pretty painful process, since each time, I figure I need some other dependency, and then repeat the process.
Is there a way to get all the ipk files into my local machine from the feed website.

I realized I am too much of a newbie in the zaurus environment to go with 3.5.1, I moved to 3.2 and got a text viewer, command line mplayer and photo viewer working.

Still having trouble with opie player (keeps telling me "Perhaps I should run ipkg update")

Thanks a bunch,
Shyam

Site Suggestions, Requests, and Updates / Searching this forum

« on: October 30, 2004, 04:13:55 pm »

Hi,
I just joined this forum yesterday and am taking the liberty of putting some suggestions.

1. It will be really nice to have a simple text box search as part of the header of every page.  Specially useful for beginners. The current search link is more appropriate as maybe an advanced search or some such.

Thanks,
Shyam

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / looking for opie-base 1.5

« on: October 30, 2004, 04:07:24 pm »

Hi,
I just bought a used zaurus SL 5500 couple days back.
I am very comfortable in a linux environment and really looking to use this thing.
The first thing I did was flash with the oz 3.5 ROM.

Now my PDA has pretty much zero applications except for the terminal, file manager and clock.

Whenever I try to install any software (To begin with I need an mp3 player, a pdf viewer and a photo viewer) it keeps complaining about dependencies:

Opie version 1.1.6 built on sept 18 2004
Open zaurus version 3.5.1

Cannot satisiy the following dependcies for opie-qpdf:
   opie-base (1.5.0) gzip

Where can i find these libraries?

Thanks,
Shyam
