Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Root Partition Size

« on: January 28, 2007, 04:04:18 pm »

OpenZaurus never supported and will not support resizing of flash partitions.

That's the second time I read a categorical statement like this on this forum ([a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=20870&hl=root+partition]here[/url] is the other one) - would you mind to explain the reasons behind this, Hrw or Koen? - thank you

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Root Partition Size

I think it was Koen (correct me if I'm wrong) who wrote on this forum something in the line of OZ neither needing nor wanting changes to the default partitioning, so I'm not sure if this will ever be officially implemented.    The main point is, can a single flash partition be booted by the sharp bootloader + altboot (pdaxrom uses uBoot instead)?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Root Partition Size

« on: January 27, 2007, 07:01:22 pm »

I'm using an SL C1000 with OZ/GPE and after some tweaking, uninstalling and installing my root partition has arrived at almost 90% use, whereas my home partition sits there at an idle 3%. I know I can always install software to /home, but I was wondering if there is a way (in OZ, I mean) to repartition the internal flash and mount all of it on /, maybe by moving root to sd with altboot, repartition and move root back again? would that work?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Backup Solution ?

« on: January 27, 2007, 06:41:14 pm »

Is it possible to back up the present state of my Akita, OZ 3.5.4.1, GPE with the NAND backup utility from the Sharp service menu, or is there another way that lets me easily restore my ROM in case anything goes wrong? - Thanks

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / How To Start Fluxbox?

xserver-kdrive *is* Xorg. It's built from http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.1/src/xserver/x...1-1.1.0.tar.bz2

OK, so it is built from the same sources, thanks for pointing that out. But if I had startx or xinit available, I didn't have to ask for help.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / How To Start Fluxbox?

« on: December 26, 2006, 09:42:43 am »

Hello everybody, after trying the various ROMS out there I decided to stick with Openzaurus on my akita. I did a bootstrap install, installed fluxbox and xserver-kdrive-xfbdev (would it also be possible to install a standard xfree or xorg in Openzaurus?) with their dependencies, and now I'm trying to figure out how to start fluxbox    . I can get into graphics mode by running Xfbdev, but I cant' find a way to make startfluxbox connect to the xserver. Can anybody help me?
