Angstrom & OpenZaurus / OpenZaurus 3.5.1 released !!!

« on: October 10, 2004, 06:45:03 am »

The 3.5.1 package manager is horribly flaky.  Can't go wrong with a nice clean ipkg/ipkg-link combo.  Any luck with the other GUI package manager that's in the feeds?  (that's the older one, right?)

Thanks for the tip.  I had gotten a little miffed when I spent a good amount of time setting up openssh and passwordless sftp only to find that my recurring apointments we disappearing!  Hopefully this gets worked out in Multisync soon enough.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Installing apps onto the SD card

"can't open staus file: /mnt/ram/usr/ then various files 'cause "no space left on device"?

I had this problem myself even when a `df` was telling me I had plenty of free space.  What happened was I had somehow corrupted that /mnt/ram filesystem.  I removed the /etc/.configured file and reran /etc/init.d/ramdisk to have that script rebuild the filesystem there. (this was all done after I had backed up anything important on /mnt/ram worth saving)

I've made a script to install nano on a OZ 3.5.1 system here:  http://linux.cs.id.ucsb.edu/~ryanr/scripts/install_nano.sh
Will install ncurses and ncurses-terminfo if needed.  Requires a net connection for wgets.
