Hello,

I have just finished installing pdaXrom on my 860, and I think it went fine except when I rebooted, the "terminal" kind of thing that comes up at the starting shows that I need a login and a password... Is there anything that is supposed to go in there? I made a password thing for my zaurus when I had cacko before, but it seems to not work that way.

Any quick help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello. The first login name is root without password
Then change it with the passwd command

Maybe I dont understand your problem right

ciao

Hmmm, I used root as login, and then there comes this thing like "tty1" and then below, there is a # sign and I think it's telling me to type in a command... is there anything that I have to do?

Type "startx" and then X11 (the gui) will appear
Is it what you want ?

Now it's installed and working, but I've noticed there is no applications installed, and found out I have to install them manually, but seeing the countless application in the ipkg feed, I was wondering if anybody created a package of the main application for pdaXrom. If so, where would I find it? I could just start working and installing each program that I need one by one, but you know, I am not that patient

Thanks

there are some packages install by default no (say abiword scite dillo package manager) etc.. ?

You don't have to install the applications one by one just select the applications and press the button. they will be installed one after the other.

nope, no applications installed... and I probably have to install mozilla or some other web browser onto my CF card and install onto the zaurus and then start installing the other programs...

don't you have a menu button a bar? or something on the desktop?
is it just plain X?

Something bad must have happened......

in the console do you have something in /usr/share/applications? (.desktop)?

No... I believe nothing is on there... There is only a couple of things in the system tools section, the usual setting and stuff, a thing in the internet place called PPP dealer, I don't think I need that, and Xterm in the other section.

Should I re-do pdaXrom? If so, can I get the right place to get the rom from, and I used the pdaXrom sites, download section (the mirror one) to do the one I did right now.

hmm strange, even with older release you should see more things

take the one here: http://mirror1.pdaxrom.org/rc9/

(kathrin.zip)

Follow the instruction (see the pinned thread RC9 is out, you can ignore the part about partitioning if you want).

Did you say yes to erase the user partition.

Yes, I did say yes to erase the user partition, was that the mistake?

pgas · « **Reply #12 on:** March 25, 2005, 04:16:00 pm »

ehe no, if you answered no then some old file might have cause problems....

Maybe the file you download have a problem.

try to reflash, I never heard somethin like this....

Now it works! Thank you to plcq and pgas for helping me! I think the problem was something with the Cacko rom that was on my 860 before and tried to update to a pdaXrom or something, but it's all good cause now it works!

Thanks!

Hmmmm it all works like a charm except for my Linksys WCF12 wireless card... I've searched for help, but if anyone is willing to show me a place, or how to start running my card, that would be great. It seems as though it recognizes my card because on the card button, when I press it it shows that I have a Linksys Wireless card in the cf slot. I also found the Wifi monitor thing and it says that there is connection, but somehow I can't go on the web with dillo, and is there any button on the bottom bar that I press and my card connects? (like in the Qtopia ones)?
