Hello again,
thanks a lot for your help so far.
I installed X/Qt as far as I could understand [1], but hit another obstacle (which too unfortunately is not described in any manual/tutorial/How-To on the web).
After I'm in X-Environment (I started it issuing "startx" like I do on my Gentoo-Box to fire up KDE for example) I see the gray X-startup screen and then a console-like input window.
Where do I go from there? How can I install Debian-Packages? With "apt-get" I recieve the error-message: "bash: apt-get: command not found".
Is there a way I can check if everything is configured all right? How do I get to the point of the flashy nice windows I saw at
http://w3.mecanica.upm.es/~smuelas/debianxqt.html?
Thanks a lot
dranath

format the Microdrive on my SL-6000L
umount /mnt/cf
mke2fs /dev/hda1
--------------------
download the needed IPKGs from
http://xqt.sourceforge.jp/feed-testing/and copy them on the CF-Card
--------------------
package destination dependencies
zlib int flash none
xbase-clients Microdrive none
xbase-etc int flash none
xlibs Microdrive none
freetype Microdrive none
xqt-server int flash xlibs, xbase-clients, freetype
xqt-fonts-misc Microdrive xlibs
# xbase-etc had to be installed into the internal flash contrary to what the website told
# when I installed the package "xlibs" there was an error message that this package would depend on further packages - but according to the "control.tar"-file from the IPK this is not the case!
--------------------
su
vi /etc/fstab
/dev/hda1 /mnt/cf ext2 defaults 0 0
--------------------
testing of X/QT by clicking on the "X/Qt Server"-icon in the "Applications"-tab - a gray background with a mouse-pointer appears
exit this window by pushing the "Pulldown-Menu"-button on the case of the Zaurus and chose "Shutdown" from the appearing menu
--------------------
download zaurus-debian-base or <*>-big from
http://pocketworkstation.org/files/as well as
gnu-tar.gz
from the same location and copy them on the CF-Card, too
--------------------
cd /mnt/cf
gunzip gnu-tar.gz
--------------------
create the Debian folder
mkdir debroot
--------------------
unpack Debian
./gnu-tar -C /mnt/cf/debroot -xvzpf zaurus-debian-big-v0.18.tgz
--------------------
final setup procedures
cd /mnt/cf/debroot
touch startd
vi startd
#!/bin/sh
#Startup Commands
export DISPLAY=0:0
swapon /swapfile
/usr/bin/icewm-session
#Shutdown Commands
swapoff /swapfile
chmod 755 startd
--------------------
create a 64MB swap file
dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=65536
I get the message
65536+0 records in
65536+0 records out
after doing
mkswap swapfile
I recieve the message
Setting up swapspace version 0, size = 67104768
--------------------
link the home directory to root
ln -s root home/root
--------------------
store the debroot location
pwd > /etc/debroot
### /etc/debroot is called in the .xinitrc
remove the INSTALL.d-directory from the "debroot"-directory since it wasn't used anyways
rm -fr INSTALL.d
--------------------
cd /home/zaurus
touch .xinitrc
vi .xinitrc
rxvt
#blackbox (depends on xlibs - which in this stage already is installed - so no dice)
--------------------
create a link between /home/QtPalmtop/bin/Xqt and /home/QtPalmtop/bin/X
ln -s /home/QtPalmtop/bin/Xqt /home/QtPalmtop/bin/X
--------------------
install from
http://xqt.sourceforge.jp/feed-testing/ the package
rxvt
with the standard Sharp-Package-Manager
--------------------
open up a terminal and issue the command
su
now type
/sbin/chroot /mnt/cf/debroot
to changeroot into your Debian-environment - you will notice a change of the shell from "bash-2.05" to "sh-2.05b"
