It would run under Xqt (after you\'d added the various libs, etc. which it needs), but for the fact that it has almost certainly been compiled into the arm5 instruction set which is a step above the arm4 set which the 5500 will run.

So the easy answer is again no (unless you want to compile it yourself, etc.).

i saw there\'s a browser called Minmo (written under Mozilla 1.7 codes), i download it off a feed here:  http://handhelds.org/download/feeds/unstable/

will it run under my OZ 3.2 5500?

i saw there\'s a Mozilla 1.1 browser on that feed too

will that run also?

thanks

I don\'t know.

You\'ll definietely need X of some or other type installed to minimo to run and I assume the same goes for the other one.

Have a go, you can\'t break anything. You\'ll probably get lots of lib dependencies which you\'ll need to track down.
