I have the same interest i the 6000.

My guess is that they said they'd work on the 5.xk and 6k series and found that there was a real need for them to get the 1k and 3k out fast..and they got really busy.
then the whole kernel 2.6 thing came along.... and they probably would rather not hear us bitch about iffy stuff that would happen  if they relesae early, etc....

We still hope to have some 6000 betas out this weekend :-)

The 5000/5500 roms are pretty usable by now and will maybe also be released this weekend.

Wow, I've got an  SL-5500, and would really love to try/use this
ROM.  If it's usuable, I'm anxious to get it...

Thanks in advance!

I'm willing to try unofficial/early releases of the SL-5500 pdaXrom,
I was looking forward to trying to setup an X11 based system
again over the weekend...

Many thanks in advance,

John

Yes, me too. I have RC10 working on my 860 and would be very happy to help test on my old 5500. Will have to blow some dust off it first!!

Still waiting, still hoping.
My 860 is BRILLIANT (with xfce4 now) but my 5500 is still a dusty brick.

Beta code would do. Alpha code would do. Lots of keen testers out here.

Please please please.

Any further word at all?

I'd have to concur with andrewwoods, I personally would be more than happy to test out alpha code, anything at all.

Even the code you guys said you had in February, even that I'd be happy with it, even if it's totally alpha/buggy - just something to see how it's coming along.

Anyway, kudos for the great work so far, you guys have done fine things for the Z community. Hope sSach is back soon.

cya,
Victor

Жду прошивку с самого-того момента, когда Laze сказал, что она появится возможно к концу недели...
Думаю, жду не один... Ребята, всё конечно супер, но... сообщите нам, хотя бы, стоит ждать? или начинать пользоваться GPE?

Похоже для SL-5500 так и не выходило ни одного удачного рома....
Обидно.

well, there pdaXrom for Collie devices, as is.

http://212.10.30.205/rc10/Zaurus-Collie/

Current problems - default ROM havent preinstalled settings utils, they all in the feed. For install need SD/MMC or CF card because internal flash small. Later, when we rewrite all pyhton utils to native GTK2 we will place it inside rom.

For install software edit /etc/ipkg.conf with vi for right feed path (url) and use command line ipkg utils, or ipkg-install (ipkg-remove):

ipkg-install /mnt/card minimo

That sounds great. I'm next at work on Wednesday and you can bet I'll be trying it.

Thanks

Great progress!

I've loaded it twice now(something about setting the root password in aterm, I couldnt log in again, weird)

Some questions:
I thought some of pdaXrom's features were: 1- runs off of SD, 2- comes with qtopia compiled for X11 so I can run both X11 and qtopia apps at the same time

1- how do I install pdaXrom to the SD card.  The 5500 feed has initrd.bin and zImage but no updater.sh so it doesn't automagically install to SD.

2- does the 5500 version support qtopia over X11?

(more basically how do I install the 5500 feed (I did copy initrd.bin and zImage to CF, hold c and d keys down, press reset button until both lights on, release c and d keys, wait till lights go off, press reset button, close up, power on) is this right?)

Hi!

I've been checking this topic every couple days, and was very surprised
and very thankful, to see the news!

I will be trying this on an SL-5500 a little later tonight.  Perhaps this
"release" deserves a dedicated topic, which might make getting
started easier for others.

I intend to try to display lots of remote X clients on the Z first, and will
post my results later...

Again, thanks for this!  _John_
