Ubuntu / Zubuntu 1.0 Rc1

Great work. as soon as some clarification on installing to flash is available count me in. Also, i think it would be interesting to test the netbook remix interface on the zaurus seems like a good fit until some headway is made on the UbuntuMID platform. Im using the remix right now as a matter of fact, on a dell mini 9.

edit: if time avails are there any differences between the installation procedure for a multi-boot set-up and a single boot that i should be aware of? personally, i would like to commit to one distro. threesomes are not my thing, after all you can only boot one at a time.

For Sale / Wanted / For Sale: Zaurus Sl-1000 In Excellent Condition

« on: August 23, 2008, 10:04:58 am »

I'm surprised. Perhaps your pictures are too big?

I was thinkin they were too small!  

i feel your pain. the market is slow on zauruii. Really, with all your addons this is a great buy. the accessories by themselves would be atleast 200 new, not to mention the insane price of the sl-1000 used on connics. i think people spent all their gadget income on the new iphone.

best wishes, hope you sell.

For Sale / Wanted / 3200 Great Condition For Sale

« on: May 29, 2008, 12:10:14 pm »

i have a zaurus sl-c3200 flashed with cacko. its in great condition and comes with all original parts and packaging except the leather case. I also have a planex wifi card, 1 gig cf card, and an external battery pack. im asking 400 plus shipping, but if that price does not accurately reflect the value of the product i would be more than willing to negotiate.

the photos are uploading right now so they may not be up at the time of posting. the pictures are abit shakey. my camera does not fair well with CF bulbs, hence the yellow hue. i will take some pictures outside and post them to flicker as well. sorry about the baby photos.

thank you,

Hardware Mods / Replacing Microdrive With Cf

« on: May 12, 2007, 03:29:52 pm »

to my understanding the repetitive writing of the swap file would tax the life span of the cf card. Compact Flash like the majority of flash (for the exception of Nand and ram) have limited write cycles, hard drives do not. i understand the desire for more storage on board the zaurus however it is impossible to guarantee the life span of such a modification.

Use the following commands to install both modules:

insmod p80211
insmod prims2_cs

I have added your card identity in  the wlan-ng.conf file which will be sent to you via PM. just copy it to /etc/pcmcia.

Reboot the Zaurus and good luck.

alright i got th conf into the /etc/pcmcia/ but when i do insmon p80211 or prims2_cs i get an error no such module.

Plug in the wireless LAN card and using su mode:

Activate "lsmod"  to check wether that p80211 and prims2_cs modules are there.

Activate "cardctl ident" to obtain the identity of the card.
  - Please post the details here and it should look like:

            product info: "Wireless LAN", "11Mbps PC Card", Version 01.02", ""
            manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
            function: 6 (network)

Next check whether the card identity is in /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf.  If it is not, add the following (according to  the information obtained from card's identity):

           card "Wireless LAN"
           manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
           bind "prism2_cs

Reboot to see whether Zaurus can detect it.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=155980\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

i do not have p80211 and prims2_cs modules

card ident looks like

Code: [Select]

Socket 0:
  product info: "PLANEX COMMUNICATIONS INC.", "PLANEX GW-CF11H Wireless CF Card",""
  manfid: 0xd601, 0x0005
  Function: 6 (network)
and i can not find Wlan-ng.conf in midnight commander, however i do have a wlan-ng.opts ad a green *wlan-ng

i do not know how to edit these

Sharp ROMs / Coming Back To Cacko From Oz/opie

« on: February 26, 2007, 10:07:16 am »

ok, im trying to cp the hdd1sys and hdd2sys files in their respected partitions but i havent had any luck. im using a sd card, i am assuming the address of the card is /dev/sdc so in command i should be able to write

cp dev/sdc/hdd1sys dev/hda1

but that doesn't work.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=155265\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

your mounted SD card would be /mnt/card and the respective hdd partitions, /hdd1 and /hdd2
you don't copy things to raw partitions...
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=155271\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

alright, then i have a 750$ brick
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=155274\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

probably not.  but you likely do have a headache.

can you D+M?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=155279\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

yes i can d+m. im not sure what to do with it tough

what i been trying to do in console is:

mount the partiton with
 
# mount /dev/hda1* /hdd1

and make the .sys file with

# mkdir .sys

i use

# cp mnt/card/hdd1sys/hdimage2.tgz* /hdd1/.sys

and

# cp mnt/card/hdd1sys/hdlist1.dat* /hdd1/.sys

to copy the files into the .sys file. unfortunately thats not working.  so i dont know what to do at this point
