Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Where Can I Buy A Zaurus In Germany

« on: April 17, 2006, 03:10:12 pm »

Do you know whether I can switch the keyboard layout to german on the newer models? The Zaurus wouldn´t be very useful without support for german umlauts and the Y/Z keys swapped.

How close it this to be included in OpenZaurus?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Very Small Rom

« on: April 16, 2006, 07:37:46 pm »

When I install OZ to the Flash-ROM without a flash card, where is my /etc folder located? Is it written to the FLASH ROM or kept in RAM?
And if I want to install software to a SD card, is overlayfs supported so that for example /usr us mounted from the Flash ROM read-only and all changes to it will be written on the /mnt/overlay which is on the SD card. This would make installing software very easy. Or how is this handled by now, with the mount points? I guess with an installed system there´s actually something in /usr so I can´t just move the folder to a SD card, or I have it to be inserted every time.
I want my base system on the ROM and my optional programs on a SD card, if that´s possible. The overlayfs approarch seems the best here.

Does Linux 2.6 and GPE/OPIE really fit in the small 16MB ROM of the Zaurus 5500G. And is it possible to install programs and/or put data on a SD or CF card, perhaps via overlayfs? Or just mount the flash card on e.g. /usr/local to install software?

Sorry if this is in the wrong category, but I really want to buy a Sharp Zaurus 5500 or 6000

Are there shops or where is the best place to get one? I´ve already checked eBay.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Support Of 5500 G Zaurus

Hi,

is the Zausus "5500 G" supported? On your site it was not mentioned. Or does the "G" perhaps stand for "german", since these are german versions?
