i sux for some package installs .

in terminal type ipkg install nameofthepacage.ipk from feed

i got a Qtopia Os on it and i woudlike to customize it a bit .

go to http://my-zaurus.narod.ru/cacko.html - Cacko  site and flash it to cacko 1.22 you wont regret it

im in trouble cuz i have installed pdfviewer and gaim and it workz ...but i have a resolution issue and some icons arent visibile  so it doenst work infact///

the screen say : please wait / and rotate with a strange resolution problem

This happens because you are installing verzions that are compiled for Z5xxx series, just tap and hold the icon until screen appears, uncheck "Magnify" option

coud u tell me if my 700 coud be enough to launch those progz ..

no problrm running it on cacko 1.22 rom - on C700, qpdf and gaim works perfectly

i forgot to ask if it was possible to sync my zaurus with wifi ?

yes go to howto section of www.zaurususergroup.org

i also need to custom more so if u no some good url for newbies ;p

Luka i really appreciate your fast and Complete answer ;p
No doubt it will help me a lot ;p

thx for details and ur personnal overview  

im exited so let Go

i will follow all your advises and  check that ASAP ;-D

im trying now to make a yahoo Pop smtp account to check also email sync ;p

no problem shaolin, not so long ago, i was a beginner in Z world
but thanx to good people here ...  now im a solid user

ive got C700 too, my advice flash it to Cacko 1.22 , the best eyecandy and funcionality so far ( PIM sync works  on WIndows and linux) on Win XP, just install intellisync and on your network settings choose Sharpp USB i/o, on linux it is a bit complicated, in time youll get the hang of it!

pop sync works flawlessly but only on outlook, not outlook express, but you can make  a pop account under opie -mail and retrieve mail via BT, irda,Wifi or usb. all in ZUG howtos

good luck!

Mhh im lucky to find somone who take advantage of his zaurus ;p and now how to use like a Confirmed Master ;p [ ok we all started at this point ]


i shoud first say thx cuzz the New Os is really amazing  u was right im totally luv of it


Nice interface and good progz  


i choose the more heavyer and add the hotfix / wifi is working fine and all is secure thx i will check on the feed to personnalise it ;p


i will also read carefully all links about wireless and check the others url with nice tips ;p and war - irlesss that u drop me:p



i just still got a small probz  u talked about sync with Qtopia with Usb

 i dunno for u but here i have by default a qtopia 1.5.4 into my Z core .

The problem is when i try to synchronise with my PC /// i have the Pack with softwares and the Qtopia desktop version is 1.5.5 :(the error message tell me that i cant match and the version dont accept to Synch  
Maybe there is a tips but i already went to  websites its seems that i cannot find an old qtopia desktop anymore cuzz firm change his way to act


any idea ? maybe update 1.5.4 from the Core Z to 1.5.5 if its a possibility  ?
What about u ?

im totally unexepert on that ;p but i will try to find answer on the web .

i coud try with outlook otherwise ... but calendar was not supported on my last version ;p maybe it will arrange now


i had pleasure to receive ur traning day  hope everthing is going fine for u;p


have a nie day Luka
