Cacko 1.23 for the C3k is still in beta stage so it's a moving target.
Last time I read about it iamasmith was recomending users to use tetsu's 18a kernel cause it had better results for video playback.
AFAIK tetsu only has the compiled kernels and the patches (orl inks to patches) that he used to compile it. If you want to compile it yourslef you will need to download and patch the kernel from sharp yourself (why he does this rather than re-tarballing the patched kernel is probably to do with server space, but I don't know for sure). If you just want to run your C3k with that kernel then you can download it and just install it.
Cacko is a jffs2 image that contains most of the original apps with some additions and updates done by the Cacko team. I'm not sure what the installer does on the C3K as it needs to install some stuff to the flash memory and some stuff to the hard disk. (When I had a look at Sharp's upgrade rom it included a tarball of apps and links for the internal drive, I assume Cacko does the same.
For your C3k you need to get the kernel "SL-C3000 special kernel (v18a)" -note this a kernel image not the source, it downloads as zImage-v18a-C3000.bin
I don't think the kernel for the C1k will work on the C3K as there are some hardware differences (ie microdrive).
AFAIK sharp didn't issue an upgrade to the kernel when the upgrade the C3K rom (I assume because the update was only to Sharp's apps not to the kernel). For a list of all the source code that Sharp has available see http://developer.ezaurus.com/sl_j/source/source_dl.htm
Sharp also used to offer the rootfs tar ball for the gpl apps, but haven't done that for the C3K or C1K yet.
Hope this helps

What sources do you want?
The kernel source? it's available from Sharp's Home page and the config file is available from testsu's home page (Cacko 1.23b -for beta) uses the 18a kernel that testsu has available on his site.
If you are looking for sources for the Sharp applications, then there aren't any cause Sharp never released them.
The Cacko specific apps can be found at Anton's site and the mplayer source and diffs can be found at atty's site.
If your after something else on the list let me know and I'll try to point you in the correct direction.

OK, just looking to try to nail down the numbers to see if things are worthwhile.
If you are using Cacko 3K at all in any form then please just answer even if you don't feel like posting an answer.
I would like problems posted on the 3k-feedback thread that Kahm started, however, I welcome general criticism either way on this thread.
BTW: Don't think you are being counted for PayPal nags. I'm not into that at the moment.
I am considering possibly using PayPal if people want to contribute towards getting certain hardware tested because I have a Bluetooth and WLAN card and I'm probably not going to buy another unless someone buys one for me... hardware contributions would be another option. - Let me know what your opinions would be on this if you like.. I certainly wouldn't intend living on the proceeds... (yeah, right in Chiswick!?)

Sharp has not yet updated their version of Qtopia. They have made their own changes to it.
You can use the 1.7 sdk to develop for the Sharp Zaurus.
The 1.5 sdk is still available at:
ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qtopia/sdk/SuSE7.....5.0-1.i386.rpm

QuoteHi All,
I have managed to install X/Qt, PocketWorkstation and OpenOffice 1.1.4 on my SL-C3000 (many thanks to Meanie for his great howto page).
However, OpenOffice programs seem to require a lot of time to load. The spreadsheet component, Calc, loads in about a minute. After that it seems to work normally. Is this normal or I need to configure something to speed the load process up?
I have a 128Mb swap for PocketWorkstation on the internal microdrive and PocketWorkstation is also installed here in a 768Mb loopback filesystem.
I have already read somewhere on this forum that I would be better off by using Abiword and Gnumeric instead of OpenOffice for their much smaller memory footprint.
Thanks,
Andras

Hi, maybe the data tranfer speed is going down because you have reading and writing on your microdrive at the same time (speed might be less than a half compared to reading or writing only, I think).
If you put the swapfile on any other physical drive than the installation files, things might speed up because now you have reading only on the microdrive and writing only on SD or CF, no matter if it's a high speed card or not?
could that be an idea?

Quote1. I use StarOffice at work so I need OpenOffice on my Z to open the StarOffice files.
2. And it does not open slow on windows and solaris unless you call 0.2 seconds slow!
3. I dont use spreadsheets much so no idea, but I can open 20MB sxd and sxw files.
4. It uses around 200MB
5. I don't use macros
6. I don't use excel so have no idea

Last version I've tried on my Sun box or wWindows was 5.2. It takes about 45 seconds to open. My Sun is nothing spectacular, it being about 6 years old so that and the age of my StarOffice may be the culprit, but I'm not the only one that has complained about S.O. being slow opening. And the last Windows machine I tried it on was a 600Mhz system with 256Mb of RAM. Same slow story
When you say it uses around 200Mb are you referring to the installation? If so then you're installiing onto the hdd or a card?
What is the largest Word file you open in SO, and how long does it take to open on your Z?
If you ever start using macros you'll wonder how you ever got along without them. In both Word and Excel they can be wonderful time savers And of course anytime we can automate things error rates generally go way down.
Thanks for your reply!

I think for the most part (unless someone else knows better) a hard reset might be in order. If it really is only qtopia that's frozen, then you may be able to get around it. Make sure you have a network connection established before you run the app. Better yet, have an open ssh connection as root. From the there you might be able to kill a process or restart qtopia.

Goto console and do a 'ps -ef' which will list all the processes
get the processID for the hanging application and then 'kill <pid>' to end the hung-up application.
