Hello! Thank you!
I solved the kernel thing! Sometimes when I placed the image file on the CF the file extension was present… without file extension worked fine and could install opie 3.5.4

In order to make the wifi cf work I had to upgrade the firmware. I used winupdate and an old comp and a cf to pcmcia adapter aaand a with pcmcia. That worked and now I can connect and see all wifi essids around.

What I can’t do now…
Install anything on sd card.
I updated all ipk feeds to these
http://feed.zaurusfr.org/openzaurus/
And also software

Sd is formated to ext2 but once the ipk is downloades i see a lot of errors. The program files are on the sd but the program is not usable

Hello! I am here in 2021 flashing opie into a Zaurus sl5500!!

I am installing the last version I found 3.5.4.1
However I see that it is pretty empty innterms of apps and compatibility qith my wifi cf…and I want to go back to 3.5.4 but! I see there is no way to change the kernel, it is stuck on 3.5.4.1.rc4
It still works but I would like to know if you still possible to go down to the 3.5.4 kernel  version

Thanks
I have tried the  3.5.4.1 but I can’t pick any wifi despite being open or wep… if i have to stick with this version I would like to know how to make lt work and edit the feed lf packages
