yeah sorry if someone else posted this but i was a bit excited over this.  It is so fast, and stable and....man just very nice.

congrats guys.  But i hosed my cf the first time flashing it because i accidently formated the cf because the z saw the cf card as a hda and not the internal drive.  That is one note for myself to have all cards out of the z besides internal.  I managed to fdisk it back to health but with great pain for some odd reason.

anyway

congrats guys.  Much more stable than pdaxrom but I like both the same just because both have the + and -.

Ill be running this for a few days but its not my permanent os just because i need other programs that run under qtopia. like my medical software and stuff.

Ill be asking questions.

Cresho: to get suspend on close in OPIE use settings/light&power. In GPE you have to edit zaurus-hinge.in script somewhere in /etc/zaurusd/ and uncomment one block there (should be commented which one).
