Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Problems installing Jeode on the openzaurus 3.3.5

« on: March 23, 2004, 04:10:31 am »

With some help, I was able to start playing with some of the various ROMs available for my 5600.  So far, my favorite is the Openzaurus ROM, available at http://www.openzaurus.org/oz_website/content/download.

It seems a lot more configurable than the Sharp ROM, and once I got past the system events scrolling across the screen, I found the appearance to be much more pleasing.  Additionally, I felt that the included apps were better.

Only one issue.  I can\'t seem to make java work.  I installed Jeode from
http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php...req=getit&lid=1

Now the evm binary exists.  How do I execute java programs with it?

TIA

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Location for useable updater.sh

« on: March 21, 2004, 11:55:21 pm »

Hello All,

I just acquired my Zaurus 5600.  I am currently attempting to locate and install some of the available ROMs for it.  However, the update procedure requires that updater.sh be present on the root of the CF along with the ROM and kernel images.

Any idea where I can find a copy of updater.sh?  The one included in the Windows package on the CD-ROM doesn\'t work.  

Any help is appreciated.

On another note - I am also attempting to use many of the games available for the Zaurus, but I keep running into an issue.  Most seem to require the SDL library.  I installed SDL 1.2.6 cvs, but the games that use it still won\'t run.  Any ideas?

TIA
