Debian Install Help.

[xfaethorx]

hi

I'm trying to install debian workstation onto my sl-c3100 i've been looking at

http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/custom.html

but i've had a few problems, I'd like to query part of the install.

# zcat zaurus-debian-big-v0.17.tgz | tar xvf - -C /hdd3/debroot
#su

shouldn't I already be root as the tar seems to try to make lost of nodes and links etc?

i followed these instructions but couldn't get debian to work

I've also tried installing debian from the instructions on this part of the same site.

http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/jumbo/xqtjumbo.html

i downloaded all the relavant files and tried to install the debian package via its script. This too doesn't work, if I drop to the command line and try startd it claims that it can't find icewm-session which looks like a pathing issue during the install.

I'd really like to get all this working properly as it looks really good. Any help or pointers appriciated. I'm still really new to the zaurus but im not new to linux.
