Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Openzaurus 3.5.4.1 Testing

cheers for the help, installed firefox fine (was not expecting ipkg to actually be like gentoo emerge) and sorted partitions. Had to fix a permission issue with /var/tmp but may have been my fault.

Will take everything back to scratch and reinstall OZ now I know more about the zaurus.

Now strace and gdb are working, should be able to work out anything else by myself.

Next payday you guys are getting a donation for sure

I'm going to install a few things to my gentoo box so I can cross compile, which sounds like an interesting adventure trying to get firefox working.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=121225\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

ipkg update ; ipkg install firefox
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=121226\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

lol, ok not as much of an adventure as first thought.

My ipkg update was not working but now fixed (helps if I write the feed down properly I guess)

will try installing firefox now

Hello all, great release.

I've now had a CL-3200 for two days and the thing rocks.  While I'm not new to linux, i'm very new to oz; so please excuse my ignorence, i'm learning though

Ok, i've got gpe running and only experiancing some minor issues.

On install I partitioned my hdd to 3 partitions, the first two are ext3 and the last one I was going to wait to format in the oz distro.  

Looking around in sbin, and all over the system I'm unable to locate mkfs.vfat; I have never had to format anything using vfat before, so i'm a little stumped as to where it is.
Do I reinstall a package to be able to format vfat?

If i format the third partition using ext3 and edit fstab would I run into any issues later?    I kept checking all the forum and can not find much.  

I'm going to install a few things to my gentoo box so I can cross compile, which sounds like an interesting adventure trying to get firefox working.

Are they any web browsers atm that use flash and work on this distro?  I'm happy to just use lynx most the time but would be interesting to get www.youtube.com working on the zaurus

On last question, I installed kismet and currently have a planex gw-cf11x card, Is monitor mode built into oz or would I need to locate a kernel module patch for the card? wireless otherwise works excellent.

No need to answer all the questions, will ask them in appropriate forums later if needed.

Cheers
