Add/Remove Software
« on: August 08, 2004, 08:54:47 am »
Hy

i bought a new SL-5500 and i'm now trying some software in it!!
After sending .ipk packages to Z, i can see them in Documents Folder, but when trying to Add Software they don't appear in list.

What could be the problem??
I often download packages from http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/.

Thanks
NCarvalho

The problem is most likely that they are ar archived ipks instead of tgz archived ipks.

If you look in the FAQ or do a search you will find a heap of people with the same problem you have (who also didn't try searching first)

Thanks Stu...

Your tip worked.
i've found this post: https://www.oesf.org/forums/inde...?showtopic=2041

The main problem, is when i've search for "ipk" and "tgz" i've get no matchs.
And in forum Software, i just seen the first two pages.
(i didn't know that exists many other pages)

Thanks
