finally got back home. wasnt wild about downloading over GPRS, but will now give it a shot!

edit: tried the dpk command and there was no /var/lib/ddpkg/status this was error. i made the directory but then got:

bash-2.05# dpkg -i openoffice.org-bin_1.1.3-1.2pre_arm.deb
(Reading database ... xxxxx files and directories installed.)
Segmentation fault
bash-2.05#

   

i'm lost in n00b land on this one

you need X, you need debian.

Read here:

* http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?PocketWorkstationXQT

and read the threads in the X/QT specific forum.

* https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showforum=112

It might be possible to  run it (perhaps with the help of a swap).

ok,maybe i'm not getting the full story right, there are places that are left to the imagination.... since i'm really productivity guy, has anyone got open office working with X/QT and pocketwork station?  even so, is open offie worth using? i would love to dump the laptop for the C3k, i've done it once, although limited, it really makes things attractive.

Hello,

I had it working, read a few posts in [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=9654&st=60]this thread[/url] about pocketworkstation on pdaxrom. (posts 41 -> ..., post 57, post 65)

I got it working on pocketworkstation in pdaX and Qtopia 1.21.
It was faster in pdaX (with swap), but I'm not sure whether I used swap on Qtopia (will try this later).
- It does run using pocketworkstation on X/QT.
- Takes quite long to load, once inside it's fast enough to work in it (I was using 128Mb swap on pdaX, haven't tried this on X/QT).
- Since I've only got a C860, I didn't test on a C3000. I suppose it would be faster as the c3000 has a faster CPU and uses a microdrive (which means faster swap and faster reads and writes)
- i had a problem with decimal values in the spreadsheet (still unsolved, i don't know where to start looking), that's why i'm using gnumeric for this instead.
- there should be a thread in the software forum about this too.


I'd say : Just give it a go !
Feel free to ask,
Chero.
