Hi Jpmatrix,

That looks great - I'll give it a try.

Thanks

Hi All,

I've been running OpenBSD exclusively on my Zaurus for a year or so - and I recently been trying to restore the initial Linux partitions that are shown in my fdisk output below:

zaurus:fred ~> sudo fdisk wd0
Disk: wd0       geometry: 11905/16/63 [12000556 Sectors]
Offset: 0       Signature: 0xAA55
          Starting         Ending        LBA Info:
 #: id      C   H  S -      C   H  S [       start:        size ]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 0: 83      0   1  1 -     19  15 63 [          63:       20097 ] Linux files*
 1: 83     20   0  1 -     39  15 63 [       20160:       20160 ] Linux files*
 2: 0C     40   0  1 -   1080   4  4 [       40320:     1048576 ] Win95 FAT32L
 3: A6   1080   4  5 -  11904  15 63 [     1088896:    10911344 ] OpenBSD    
zaurus:fred ~>

Could anyone do:

dd if=/dev/wd0i of=linux1 bs=512 count=40

and

dd if=/dev/wd0j of=linux2 bs=512 count=40

And let me have copies of linux1 and linux2 as created above?

Or any other advice on how to restore the orignal linux partitions back to my Zaurus would be appreciated.

Thanks

OpenBSD / Wi-fi Tools

The rechargable battery power of the usb hub outlasts my SL-C3200's battery.
Heres the specs:
MODEL- CP-H420MP          VENDOR- CYBERPOWER SYSTEMS

Did you get this device in the UK?  Or do you know of any UK resellers?

Thanks

OpenBSD / Anyone Tried Yet On A 3200?

How about adding fluxbox to this collection of packages? Also is the installation of these packages similar to FreeBSD package installation, ie, pkg_add *.tgz Also will these packages work with the current snapshot?

Thanks

I built fluxbox from ports - it didn't take too long.

Although I'm now playing with ion3.

HTH

OpenBSD / Anyone Tried Yet On A 3200?

Hi All,

I have just installed OpenBSD 3.9-current on my shiny new Zaurus C3200!

I'm looking forward to getting my CF Wifi card so that I can go mobile.

Andy what do you think about this??
ftp://ftp.kd85.com/pub/OpenBSD/3.9/packages/arm/ ?

I've just installed Vim from there, but it looks like I'll have to build the other applications I want from sources as soon as I've copied ports.tar.gz to my Zaurus.
