Oops -- Lost Root In Package Manager (solved)
« on: May 04, 2005, 12:42:03 pm »
OK I'm a total OpenZaurus newbie with a used SL5500. I have a 128 Mb flash SD card in. I was trying to use it in order to install packages, but managed to delete 'root' from my destinations (in the Opie package manager). Now of course it thinks I don't have things like libc installed. When I go to add 'root' back in, what do I put for the location?
