This is a follow-up to an earlier post I made, titled "mounting the SL-6000".

I'm interested in communicating between my laptop and the Zaurus via USB. The former is running Suse Linux 8.0. I understand now (thanks to lumi) that the Zaurus is not treated as USB storage, so I can not simply mount it.

Following the advice I tried to establish a network with Samba. When I calll smb://192.168.129.201/home/ from Konqueror, it gives me the message "Protocol not supported".

How can I transfer files between the Zaurus and other Linux computers, maybe without using Samba?

Thanks for any experience sharing

Hello Nick,

thanks for pointing this out. Unfortunately in this case I'm support.using Suse 8.0.
modprobe usbnet gave no result. I don't know how I can rebuilt my kernel to include usbnet support.

Can you imagine alternatives to using Debian?

The same procedure documented on the SUSE help page for the 5500 ought to work.

Apparently it is less work for Suse 9.0
