Software / Help! Memory Problems And More Newbie Questions!
« on: November 10, 2005, 06:08:37 pm »
Hello All,
This is my first post. I've had a 5600 for a while but didn't really use it until recently, then I bought a 5500 w/lots of cards on Ebay! I've got just about everything working on the 5600 w/sharp roms. However, the 5500 I purchased w/Openzaurs 3.5.3 and Opie 1.2 has like zero internal storage left.
I've had all sorts of failed attempts at loading packages on the 5500, I go into Local Pakcage and goto the memory card but so far things either fail, or don't work and now I have no memory and I've removed the packages I've loaded. I have a few questions:
1. How to I clear up the internal storage (/dev/root). I'm a unix SA and I poked around and for the life of me I couldn't figure out anything that stuck out to delete. Idid notice a a huge file /proc/kcore, but I shouldn't mess with /proc...but why is kcore so big?
2. Once I do get some memory cleard I want to load a web browser, opie mediaplayer2 ( it took forever to find it ) and i Hope a video player (any recommended apps). So far when i've tried loading things to an SD card or CF card I get lots of link errors. IS this because I need sudo loaded? I've had good luck on the 5600 with the sharp roms but the one with OZ/Opie is driving me nuts.
3. How do a sync this thing? I don't have the orginal CD and my computer doesn't recognize the SL-5500. Do I just load the software that came with it, I assume I can dowload it from myzaurus.com? ...OR...is there special software for syning with OZ/opie. What software can i use on my PC so sync?
I have more questions, but I'll wait and work on these things first. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Ted
