« on: November 20, 2004, 05:10:36 pm »

I like it so i'll keep it  .I will be joining the battle...  *hoping to win the war!*
Could you be so kind to reply me on a  newbie question?
What rom should i use to flash my SL-6000?
*i have the 1.12 version*
where from? link?
from the many programs i tried, only few are running on SL-6000 without adjustments   Is this going to change by time after new software development?
somebody knows how to put maps for the qpeGPS? and where to download from?
In some applications there is an option "execute with root privilege (not secure)" What it means and what is it about?

Thank's in advance

6000 - Tosa / New SL-6000

Hi people!  
I am a new user of zaurus SL-6000, and new in the world of PDA's.I am in Europe, and as i know, this model is not released here and will never be.  
It is an amazing device, and i guess capable of many things.I got the device 2 weeks ago and i was happy with it, but then i found out that there isn't much of compatible software for it.I don't have any idea of linux programing and i don't want to deal with the terminal thing... The hardware is terrific, but the software...
is not friendly to a new ignorant user.The palm os and the ppc os have a lot of software developed and somebody can buy whatever he/she wants why? Linux is not good enough for the developers?
So why someone should prefer SL-6000 instead of palm or ppc?
Most of the older applications from previous models don't work, in contrast to the other operating systems... If i knew before...
I have a chance to sell it in the price i bought it, to swift to the Ipaq 4705.But i really like the zaurus hardware! What do you advice me to do?
I was wondering if is it possible to flash the zaurus to use palm os, or windows mobile ppc? or at least to make the programs available on the other os, to work with linux?
If you would like, please post some links.
Forgive my ignorance, i suppose it's an expert forrum here, everything i read looks like chinese for me,but remember you were also newbie once.

Please i really need some help here, i would appreciate it.  

                                              Thank's in advance

6000 - Tosa / Possible to make SL-6000 a cell phone?

Hi, is it possible to transform the zaurus to a cell phone with the Audiovox RTM-8000?(compatibility?) If yes what about software that is compatible? Will the GSM work properly, and what impact would have on the power consuption?

 I am a new user for zaurus and i dont have any idea of programming!  I dont have any software to put since everything is incompatible... I read in the forums how to make some progs running but it looks like chinese to me!Does somebody knows any site for real SL-6000 software? the worst is that i cant use the video capabilities of the unit at the highest resolution covering all the screen, with all the codecs.Can somebody write some info for beginers? I will be really greatfull...

6000 - Tosa / Who has a 6000?

Hi i got mine since three weeks from Amazon $399  .My first PDA!  Very happy with it, allthough i can't find much of freeware yet  .Specially i am   about the case that i can't take advantage of the video full capabilities, due to incompatible software from previous models.But overall quite happy with purchase!
