Zaurus - pdaXrom / Rom Follow Up

« on: July 27, 2005, 02:00:15 am »

Thanks for responding....

I have an SL5500. Found and installed the ROM Laze/Sash made, fired up the GUI and works fine but just wanted to know if there was a basic utilities file that I could install to do config stuff (change screen setup, package manager to install software, adjust network settings, etc.) that comes with other ROMs.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom For 5500?

« on: July 22, 2005, 12:48:07 am »

Ok...I'd like to settle on a ROM and think this is the one. I previously checked out and liked the feeds and screenshots of the interface but when I went to install it appears pretty plain without the bells and whistles of others. But I guess that's what was intended. I don't mind doing a little detective work to figure out how things work without bugging people for answers. But from time to time I'd like to think that I can call on them when I do. So with that...

What is the utilities package for the configuration of the GUI (i.e. Network, screen look, time, etc.) called so I can fetch it?

and

Can any ipk work on any of these ROM's?

Thanks for the help.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Oz 3.5.3 Gpe-image

« on: May 18, 2005, 02:28:18 pm »

Hello,

I have a SL-5500 (and am a newbie) and after hassling with Opie and the package manager not working good I'm trying the GPE image. Trying to install abiword but a few dependencies are needed. I found the other files and put them all on cf card and ready to go but understand it's pkg mgr isn't working 100%  .

GPE's package manager is still mostly unusable for collie (it lacks the ability to install to a non-root location)

If I am just logging in as root how do I select multiple files to install? What are the key(s) to use to do this?

Thanks for the help

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom For 5500?

Looking at the screenshots, does this ROM come with extras like ABI word? I have an SL5500 with OZ 3.5.2 right now and am having to alter some programs (Hancom) to make them install correctly. I don't have a Liunx box right now and can't seem to locate a public one to do this. If this pdaxROM comes with some software loaded or if the ROM package manager loads other software without any hitches I'm willing to wait. Or are they going to concentrate on developing for the later models of the Zaurus?  

Thx
